HANDMADE LIBRARY
8 February - 31 March
fountain arts's community-led, handmade library allowed local people from across North Lincolnshire to share and circulate their passions.
Our handmade library now sits proudly, as part of the wider creative community library at fountain arts.
The creative community library can be accessed during regular opening hours. For those iwho missed the project why not pop-in and have a look at what our community made?
COMMUNITY COLOURING BOOK
Colouring is a popular hobby, both globally and specifically within our community, which promotes relaxation and self-regulation.
​
We organised the creation of a colouring book as part of the Handmade Library project, in response to suggestions by our visitors.
​
Creatives in North Lincolnshire were invited to contribute colouring pages, in any style, and at any level of technical experience.
Everyone in the community is able to colour these pages, with supplies and equipment provided by fountain arts.
