Linskill’s Community Grapevine – 24 November 2023
We REALLY appreciate the time you give to filling out our evaluation forms. Our programme is often supported by funders and we need to show them, and our board of Trustees, what we are doing with their support. We always send out the same questions, regardless of the activity, so sometimes it might seem a bit odd that we’re asking something irrelevant.
The ‘word art’ above is how you describe our sessions to your friends – it’s powerful stuff!
TAKE NOTICE – Art Appreciation
Join Anita Brain Tyrrell, acrylic artist, as she shares her journey through art, from study to practice. Anita’s focus is on portraiture and the sense of place which portraits provide.
engAGE is funded for people aged 55+
CONNECT- Saturday Craft Club
We are trialing a *new* monthly craft group on the 1st Saturday of the month as plenty of folks are busy in the week. Perhaps you like to knit, crochet or sew etc and would like to work on your project in good company.

From our friends…
Come and join at the Wildside every Wednesday for the newly started ‘Eldlings Project.’
This project is an attempt to bring together people of all ages and from all walks of life, to spend time outdoors, sharing stories and food around the fire, taking part in a spot of gardening, having a go at an outdoor craft, or just enjoy being around like-minded people.
Thanks to TNL Community Fund, these sessions are free to attend and there is no need to book – just turn up dressed for the weather and for being outdoors!
Wednesdays 10-12 at The Wildside North East, 9 Bridge Terrace, Shiremoor (next door to Shiremoor Children’s Centre and easily accessible by Metro).
Please note that this group meets during school term times.
