Battle Hill & Linskill Community Development Grapevine Newsletter – 14 April 2023
Big smiles in The Shed last week as volunteers helped people make their very own planters. Here’s what they had to say about it….
“Practical and friendly and enjoyable”
“Thank you. Excellent work shop”
“A chance to try something different without having to fork out lots of money on tools and materials and with the guidance of those who know what they are doing”
“You learn as you make. Brilliant team effort and the people very helpful”
Watch out for more Shedders workshops throughout the year.

KEEP LEARNING – Cross Stitch Workshop
Join Jennifer from ‘Trouvaille Stitch Kits’ for this two-hour cross stitch workshop, perfect for all levels, with no experience needed.
Learn the basics of cross stitch, tips to make stitching easier, and how to do two other types of stitches commonly used within cross stitch designs (straight stitches and French knots) while designing and creating their own personalised piece.
All materials and instructions are provided, and we will even throw in a cuppa or two!
TAKE NOTICE – Film Club
In 1961, 60-year-old Kempton Bunton stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. He sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly. What happened next became the stuff of legend.
