Our trip to Edventure

On Thursday 20th of August we had a morning at Edventure to have a look at the Bardic chair, which is being made by the Menshed.  
The Menshed uses a room at Edventure as a Work shop .They make things out of wood.
We sat at the meeting table to meet Patrick  from the Menshed.

  We had a look in their 'Cave' which they use for meetings.  Lots of different people use Edventure for different projects. Some were using it as an office, some people were making furniture. There were plants growing everywhere, even a tree!

On the way back we had lunch in the round house which was made by Edventure.

T Shirt project

We have started working on a new project in our work skills group.
We have been working hard to come up with a design for a t shirt .

We are working with a designer to print our own designs onto the t shirts.

When they are finished we will sell them at the Frome  independent market on the 6th September.
Please come along and see us on the stall and show us some support!

The Bardic Chair

Openstorytellers Bardic Chair 2013

We are getting excited about the Bardic Chair competition happening at Rook lane in Frome on 24th September 2015 at 7.30pm - 10.30pm .

The Somerset Wicker Man

Did you know it first started at the peat moors centre Shapwick. It started in the Ironage when the chief held a Wicker ceremony. He made a chair that everyone could sit on and tell their story. At the end they would take out straws and who ever pulled the shortest straw would win the chair for a year. I remember telling the story of  'Gareth Knights and Days of the Kitchen'. I felt really comfortable in the willow Bardic Chair, it was a bit like being in Goldilocks chair. They are building a new chair at The Menshed in Frome and we are going to visit there next week.

If you want to come to this event to watch or tell a story, everyone is welcome. You can get tickets at Rook Lane www.rooklane.org.uk or at Openstorytellers on 01373 471171 or www.openstorytellers.org.uk
