We are running a new set of workshops this autumn. Come along and try them out!
A life history book is a homemade booklet compiled to capture memories and stories about a person’s life, whether to mark a significant birthday, a change in circumstances, the onset of Dementia or as a beautiful and creative gift for a loved one.
Brighton based organisation Strike a Light – Arts & Heritage will deliver a series of four workshops to learn how to create a life history booklet for a family member’s life.
Workshop dates are: Thursdays 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th September 10am-1pm. These take place at the Strike a Light studio in Brighton.
We went off to the launch yesterday at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton of the Dr Blighty project Educational Learning Toolkit we created for the London based organisation Nutkhut in 2016 and 2017.
We were pleased to see this newly finished learning toolkit which is available for Brighton and Hove schools (Key stages 2 & 3) to learn more about the history of Indian Soldiers in the city during WWI.
Finally! Our Community Interest Company paperwork has come through.
Strike a Light- Arts & Heritage are now officially a recognised Community Interest Company with Companies House.
After a long delay, Strike a Light’s four Directors are off out for dinner next week to celebrate!
Strike a Light – Arts & Heritage is hosting a series of four puppet making workshops in May and June run by talented puppeteer Fran Malone from Herringbone Arts.
Book your place here!
