The day is especially for Hackney Homes residents but is open to all.

The list of attractions is still being finalized but there'll be 3 or 4 workshops ranging from t-shirt printing to clay modelling to possibly kite making. There'll be a tom-bola and apple bobbing as well as a magician or balloon manipulator. There's a barbecue and chicken or veg wraps. There'll be a cafe area as well.

On stage there's the Nemesis street dancers and the Irish dancers.
There'll be a stell band to boot.

There'll be free bulbs and possibly herbs for the window box supplied by Hackney Homes Estate environment as well as stands with give-aways fro everyone from Pinnacle to Crispin & Borst to safer neighbourhoods and a lot more...

....check back here closer to the day for the complete list.

Hope to see you there - Millfields Park North, adjacent to the play area.

Creative play for 8-12 yrs old (free) at "Hothouse"

Leeds Castle day trip photos

Here is the link to around 100+ photos I took on
the trip to Leeds Castle on July 26th.

About 75 were taken on 35mm film, the rest on a small digital camera.
They are numbered & named either with or without "digital".
A very few have "crop" in the name which is self explanatory.
Otherwise they are as taken - just quickly through Adobe Lightroom to de-vignette
and give an over-all colour adjust.

When I have time I'll give the best a Photoshop treatment to clean up any areas within the frame that need it. The sort of thing Lightroom just can't do.

This is the link to the "Leeds Castle" set of photos:

You can download any photos you like from Flickr.
Click on the photo you want, then click on "all sizes".
The largest for nearly all of them is well over A3.

Hope you like them - here's a taste

Below is the above shot retouched in Photoshop - with a mild effect added.

There's a few more in the "Flickr" panel on the left column here
which you can also click on to get to the full set of 100 photos.

(All retouched photos do have "retouch" in the name)

Clapton Panel FUN DAY Sat Sept 5th on Millfields

(click on the “Teaser” poster above to see it larger)

The full list of attractions is being finalized right now

so don’t forget to check back here in a few days.

…

This “FUNFEST” is especially for you…

…if you are a Hackney Homes resident living in or around Clapton

you will be getting a leaflet with the final version of the poster in the mail sometime over the next two or three weeks.

The day is especially for residents, with loads of entertainment, activities and great food. There’s a few local organizations you may well want to access at some stage like access2sport, community-links, safer neighbourhoods and others as well.

There will also be stands from organizations you definitely either have or will access such as Hackney Homes, Pinnacle, Connaught, Crispin & Borst, Davies & Davies – and more.

If you live on an estate without a TRA we hope the contributors showcase will give you a taste of what is available for TRAs and so inspire you to form one – with help and support from specialist resident support officers from Hackney Homes – also there on the day.

Don’t miss out – form a TRA – take the first step and find out all about it on the day:

Sat 5th Sept at Millfields Park North.

…and have fun at the same time.

"OF THE LAND"

30 JULY – 30 AUGUST 2009

Private View – 6-9 Thursday 30th July

Email: information@vulpesvulpes.org

OF THE LAND brings together a series of contemporary images from a select group of current practising artists and recent graduates from the Royal College of Art MA and Wimbledon BA courses. The artists include Rachel Potts, Mette Juul, Robin Friend and Oliver Fuke.

Rob Eagle, a graduate of the Royal College of Art sculpture MA, has curated the show based on his outlook of the everyday world and the peculiarities of culture that affect us all, whether knowingly or otherwise. This is a body of work by artists that have achieved recognition through their descriptive narrative of the landscapes and cultural material that inform our understanding of the world we inhabit, a celluloid-inflected land of pictures.

The work has developed through the artists’ journeys and represents the emergence of each of their personal endeavours. The humorous, the banal, the inquisitive and even the exotic are identified in the work, providing encouraging and uplifting perspectives to be experienced by all who view them.

11-6 (Sat/Sun only) or by appointment
