Craft Daft!

Last night we challenged the craft daft teams to design, write and send us their own postcards from Clydebank describing a big event that involved all the community.

Visitors

Friday 25th April

We had our first visitor today, Isa, who came in to have a chat about what's happening in the area, what's changed during her lifetime and how she's been helping out with CAOS's holiday clubs for children. If you'd like to come and have a chat with us face to face we'll be posting up some times when you can catch us soon.

We've also put up a map in Abbotsford Church foyer for you to mark on all the places you spend time, be it because you have to or because you like to. If you get a chance do add you stickers to it!

Out and About in Whitecrook

Friday 18th April

Today we thought it was about time to get out and see Whitecrook for ourselves. Local resident, Bobby kindly gave us a guided tour to lay out the bsoundaries of old and new Whitecrook before we went off to explore. What we found was a mixed area of old vs new, residential vs industry, densely populated vs wasteland.

Spring Break Fun

Thursday 17th April

CAOS' spring break programme has been in full swing this holiday for primary children from all over Clydebank. Tonight we joined in and got the kids thinking about the area where they live, what they like and dislike and what they like doing in their free time. They drew us some maps and then made video diaries to explain. Here's a few pictures from the results:

Community Arts : Open Space

Friday 4th April

CAOS is a new community arts project based in Whitecrook, Clydebank. Over the next few weeks we'll be out and about in Clydebank finding out what

Over the next few weeks we'll be out and about in Clydebank to find out:
-what's already happening in the community
-what's missing from the area
-what activities people in Clydebank are interested in taking part in
-how CAOS can fit in and encourage people to take part in community arts.

Community Arts doesn't mean that you need to be able to draw or become the next Picasso - it's all about having fun, taking part and discovering that everyone's got a creative side!

You can keep track of our progress on this blog and please add any comments if you've got - we'd love to hear from you!
