Make your windows come alive with creative designs for the community to enjoy.

Different ways you can get involved:Visit us during workshop times to make start on your artwork with us. We have all the tools and materials and artists on hand to help and lots of visual inspiration.
- Pop in for a chat and collect the materials you need to make it at home.
- If you are chomping at the bit to get involved but don’t live within the zone we can set you on creating an artwork for someone else’s window.
- If you have a window, but don’t have the time to make your own, get in touch with your window measurements and we can make something so your window can still be part of our outdoor gallery.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING TO WORKSHOPS?
Just bring yourself, the dimensions of your windows and a picture of the front of your house (if possible).If you are creating something for someone else’s house, just bring yourself and we will provide the rest!
Need inspiration? If you need inspiration how about the following themes…
- ‘Out of this world’
- ‘Animal Kingdom’
- ‘Neighbourhood Super hero’
- Hobbies and interests
- What about sharing some positivity and joy through a quote, a song or hopeful image.
-
Let’s get clever! How about considering your whole house-front as one enormous picture, or perhaps create a comic strip or tell us a story?

Anything goes so long as its family friendly and non-political.
Techniques
- If you’re creating your window piece at home remember to test it in your window at night (with your room lights on). You may need to think about privacy and may choose materials like tissue paper that let light through but obscure your interior.
- Be sure to black out window areas that fall outside of your design. This will make your window pop! We can provide black paper.
- You may want to experiment with different lighting arrangements and coloured lights.

I believe phyciatry in the west and east of Europe at least is a modern evil. I cannot speak for the rest of the world but I suspect it is the same all around the world. There is no scientific evidence to suggest mental illness exists, however there is plenty of evidence to suggest physical afflictions affect our moods. There is also evidence to suggest that trauma affects our central nervous system: It is not in the mind it is in our electrical currents. What does everybody think?
