✨Join Us for a Day of Creativity & Community!
On the 27th September, 2PM–10PM at the beautiful Bridge Farm, community, Glenfrome Rd, Bristol BS16 1BQ
We’re hosting a fundraiser for Busy Minds Hub where we will showcase some of our workshops and very talented bristol artists. We are a community project based in Bristol run by people with lived experiences of mental health difficulties and a background in mental health care. This was founded by a mental health nurse who felt there was a lack of creative activities for people experiencing poor mental health. Busy minds hub runs workshops in local community centres and we want to raise money for more materials as well as supporting local creatives to deliver the workshops.
✨Your ticket price will pay it forward to the people coming to our workshops in community centres.

- We have some dub, folk and techno in the day then at night expect donk, bassline, 4x4 and techno. @bert_lush @fish_maze @bailhole_breaks.beats @shardybumpa @samblandmusic @djsafensound

2.30-3.30 Textural Monoprinting
Child friendly - must be accompanied by an adult
@sadiefoxcreativewellbeing
We will be creating posters/cards/collages by using inkpads and Play-Doh to monoprint with items I've gathered for you earlier from around the farm, such as leaves and plants also fabrics to work with and strange found objects that will make fun textures! Sustainable and obscure urban foraging baby! This is to practice slowing down, seeing the world through a different lens and to find the beauty in even the weirdest bit of metal you found in the street and creating art with it, bring along your fun textures if you feel inspired! It's going to be a sensory delight with squishing and printing!!

@santinoswardrobe
Fluke Threads & Busy Minds Hub are teaming up to bring you Santino’s Wardrobe—a creative workshop inspired by the sassiest little kitty, Santino! This time, we’re diving into the world of ruff making! ✨Whether you want to look cute on a night out or just bring some serious sass to a business meeting, a ruff is the ultimate statement piece.

A forest bathing session is known as shinrin yoku in Japan. Will be taking time out from the hustle and bustle of the city to engage ourselves in the surroundings of bridge farm and help us to ground ourselves.
