They’ll be sharing their art and creative processes and will run workshops and talks exploring intergenerational stories of Place, Heritage & Connection
Intergenerational Stories
of Place, Heritage & connection
Crispin moved to Westcote Road in Furzedown with his family 1998. He trained as a fine artist and continues to enjoy painting and sketching (view his work HERE). He spent most of his working life in the voluntary sector, working with prisoners and the homeless on art projects.
Esme trained in performing arts and is the Founder of Creative Voices Collective - applying creative and therapeutic practices to various mental health sectors of the community.
They hope to enjoy this time together developing their creative practice while exploring their own heritage and connection. They will be running talks and workshops, inspiring local people to discover their own heritage and the importance of Place.
