North Lanarkshire residents have the opportunity to get involved in a free creative project this October which will run three different strands.
North Lanarkshire’s Community Arts will launch the free Postal Arts Project later this month which will allow novices to sign up and take part from home using the postal service and digital channels to share their creations.
Run by North Lanarkshire Council, it is artist led and has three artform strands including ceramics and applied art, photography and visual art.
Leading the visual art strand of the project, artist/illustrator Jasmine Holt will follow the theme of “connections”, taking participants through a series of creative activities including drawing, painting, looking, gathering and scribbling.
Photographer Ashley Cochrane, will also inspire those looking to tell their story through the camera lens, exploring past, present and future. Through imaginative ideas and challenges, participants can create their own images with help from Ashley.
While artist Andrew McCourt will consider the last 18 months through ceramics and applied art process to explore our different views of the pandemic.
Anyone can take part in the project which is designed to assist those who have felt isolated during the pandemic.
Those who sign up will be gifted art kits containing all the materials required to take part in the project which starts later this month through to the end of the year.
The project is open to North Lanarkshire residents with no previous experience in any of the artforms necessary. All materials are provided free of charge. Participants can sign up by visiting culturenl.co.uk/postal-art, calling 01236 632228 or emailing arts@northlan.gov.uk
