St Helens Central Station
We have recently adopted our local railway station. We work in partnership with St Helens Rotary club.
We have built seven planters that now sit on both platforms. We will over the coming months produce artwork that will complement the planters representing St Helens through the ages.
Our Towns Sound
This is a project that we are involved in. This is facilitated through Shakespeare North. The project is looking to record dialects and sayings throughout the Liverpool City region.
As part of this project, we are developing a performance to be held at The Shakespeare North Theatre.
As part of the project Matt the lead on the project wanted something that would be able to capture and record the sayings and dialects. Matt had the idea of a telephone box. He approached our members and creatives to see if this would be possible. Indeed, it was.
We used the wide format printer to print images from St Helens and neighbouring Prescot. Our Glow Forge printer cut the crowns for the telephone box.
The telephone box is currently touring the region capturing the sounds of our region.
Café Laziz
We have recently developed a partnership with café Laziz.
The café is set up for recently settled refugees and asylum seekers to work and train in and integrate with the local community.
The café is open to the public to try new cuisines from around the world.
Our members share volunteer opportunities, and we are engaged to provide all their printing needs.
The printing is allowed due to funding from the Ian Karten Charitable Trust.
