Make, Do and More
Shannon and Tim from Boston’s Touchable Stories are currently visiting to help work on our ‘Echoes From The Edge’ project. The project is developing nicely and we’ve begun the long process of interviewing a whole range of residents in Highgate and Digbeth and are having our first community dinner with the initial interviewees and artists in our partially refurbished space. We’re looking for more residents, community groups and workers from Digbeth, Highgate and Deritend who would like to join in with the project as it develops, particularly interviewees, resident artists and cooks, if you are interested in getting involved, get in touch.
Stage one of the refurb at The Edge is complete, with Dave Walker and his team beavering away over the last couple of weeks on renovating the space. So we’ve now got new, downstairs ‘facilities’ and disability access, double glazing, insulation and, best of all, extremely efficient (and toasty) new heating system. We’re now working on stage 2, putting in a kitchen for all those dinners, new lighting and a nice lick of paint – any volunteers appreciated!
