We need to get out more! Carn to Cove, The Works, Creative Skills and Feast are all Cornwall wide organisations based at
Krowji in Redruth working in different ways to support & develop creative activity and provide information
for artists and audiences. On the following days we are basing ourselves at the Liskerrett Centre in Liskeard
– you can drop in for a quick chat and to pick up information or you can book a more formal ‘surgery’ with
one of us by phoning or emailing in advance.
If you are a visual artist, designer maker or
craftsperson, Creative Skills can help you to develop
your professional practice.
When was the last time you were able to reflect on
your professional practice and talk through those issues
that are preventing you from moving forward? Our
sessions at the Liskerrett Centre will provide the
opportunity for you to access a one to one Professional
Practice Development session, close to home. There
will be two, hour long sessions available during each
Liskerrett visit, so please book in advance with Jane
Sutherland, by calling 01209 313200 or emailing
[email protected] We will also be available to
help with more general questions, and hope to arrange
a session for other members on one of the dates. More
information will be sent direct to those members who
live in North and East Cornwall in due course.

FEAST is a programme to make great art happen across
Cornwall.
It offers developmental advice and funding support to
professional artists wishing to work with communities. We
are interested in commissioning high quality,
innovative projects which genuinely engage
communities and reach out to the widest possible range of
people.
FEAST has a number of funding strands including pots
specifically for small community led art projects and
festivals throughout Cornwall – criteria, application process
etc. on www.feastcornwall.org
We are happy to talk through ideas, tell you whether they
are a fit for FEAST investment and how you could develop
your project proposal so it has a greater chance of success.
Please note FEAST runs a competitive application
process and this mentoring cannot guarantee that your
application will be successful.
Carn to Cove
Carn to Cove is Cornwall's performing arts scheme for
rural communities. We fill local sports halls, chapels
and our wonderfully varied village halls with poetry,
laughter, music, drama, stories and dancing.
The success of Carn to Cove is founded on the com-
mitment and enthusiasm of the local volunteers around
the county.

touring or a new venue wanting to know more about
the scheme contact us

Spotlight On ….
Liskerrett Working In Wood Project
The Working in Wood project is a project funded by the
Community Grants Programme, providing practical
learning opportunities for adults
producing items made from wood that can be sold local-
ly, bringing in income to sustain the project in the long
term. Their initial range of bird boxes, bird tables, plant-
ers, pot holders and coat hooks have proved very popu-
lar, and all the items made so far have been sold, but
more importantly those taking part are learning valuable
carpentry
techniques, how to use tools correctly and safely and are
producing finished articles of which they can be proud.
We interviewed members of our Working in Wood
Project, Richard, Ian, Chris and John and asked how they
are getting on.
What skills do you practise?
We practise sawing, drilling, and using the jigsaw. We
work a lot on measuring and getting the
angles right.
Are you thinking of taking your products to fairs or having a
stall at local events or are you making them to order for peo-
ple you know?
We sell our products to people from Morley
Tamlyn and the Liskerrett Centre and lots of
others. Ever since we displayed our bird tables and love-
ly flower boxes at Liskerrett’s Garden open day we have
had a constant stream of orders so you could say we
make to order. We would like to have a stall, we sold
quite a few Coat hooks and plaques at the Liskerrett
Garden Open Day. If we had enough to sell more we
would. At the moment we are trying to get a few things
together as we have lots of interest.
What have you made this month?
We made ten bird tables and planters, plus all the coat
hooks and plaques. In the winter we are
hoping to make wooden toys for children.
Where can you be contacted ? We are at the
Liskerrett Centre on Tuesdays and Wednesdays,
Telephone 01579 340307
Are you enjoying being part of this project? Yes
Is it Interesting? Yes it is interesting, learning all about the
latest tools, and we’ve got goggles and masks we have to
get used to.
If you would like to place an order, contact the project
leader Barry Hobbs on 07758288407
