We're loving the colours and texture on this new rag wreath!

Check out Repurposeful CIC's weekly Scrapstore for other lovely woollen tartan off cuts!

Call into Repurposeful CIC for some ribbon and a paint tin (unused) and have an hour to yourself whilst the kids play with the new pully system! 🎉🎉🎉
Maybe they could hoist up all of the things that Mother's leave on the bottom stair to be taken upstairs - but everyone just walks past!
Surely it's not just me who lives in hope of the pile being noticed and carried up?? 🥴🤷‍♀️

I've just discovered this page. I love the ethos. At a time where we are all so dysregulated and our nervous systems are exhausted from the modern world, creativity is part of the solution...why are we shrinking the arts in schools?

Cannot express how much I love this!

We have been experimenting with big flowers using a range of reclaimed and natural materials, for an exciting upcoming project we have been asked to take part in. 💐🌸🌻

There are some interesting petals in there - some hands and some feet!

More details to be released soon, keep a peek out...

How cute and cool is this?!

06/05/2026

Last week's Northumberland Recovery College's Crafty Craic group were experimenting with a very new kind of medium...the cuttle bone!

Cuttlefish carry a gentle symbolism of transformation and adaptability. They shed, shift and change form with ease.
The cuttlebone, often found washed ashore, speaks of what’s left behind when something has outgrown its form, reminding us of the necessity - and wisdom of letting go of what we no longer need.

They are going to be included in an upcoming arts community collaboration. It also feels like the perfect activity to go alongside Ashington's application to be Town of Culture - we have a proud mining heritage past but we are transitioning to a new identity, one which will give the town a bright future, built around the arts and culture!

Students were invited to draw their wishes on the cuttle bones. It could be wishes for themselves/the community/our planet/humanity - it could include words, quotes, pictures - anything they felt inclined to do.
Or just to enjoy doing some mindful doodles/patterns - which are great for bringing a sense of calm and putting us into the parasympathetic nervous system response - releasing stress and tension in our bodies and minds.

Stay tuned to see what becomes of them next!
