Workshops at Telford Community Arts

This poster advertises TCA workshops which are the starting point and centre of our overall programme. Groups of local residents meet together once or twice a week. We work with clay and textiles and on banners, murals, plays, sculpture, books, magazines, dance, music, silkscreen posters, videos and photography.
The emphasise is on group activity where individuals can learn from each other as they share their experiences and ideas. Wherever possible our objective is to work through the total creative process from the first exchanges of ideas and experiences to the presentation of the final product to an audience.

More often than not the artistic products say something about the subjects nearest to the hearts and minds of working class people. This includes money, jobs, nurseries, schools, housing, social and health care, transport and community resources.
