Historic!

This is the highest quality video ever taken of the moon!

If you are new to #Mosaics and fancy a relaxed introduction to them then book yourself on my next workshop @stirreusehub I promise a smashing time!

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

Snuck out whilst the sky was pink to do this as predicting a very busy day tomorrow!

#MerryChristmas

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

A bit of a celebratory one today. Happy Retirement to Mrs Hughes, one of our biggest garage fans. @LarbertVillage

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

It has taken a wee while but they are finally ready for installation at @stirreusehub #Reclaimers this week. #upcycling #christmasiscoming #reclaimedmaterials #savedfromlandfill

We wanted to do a garage door for @JaneyGodley who passed away yesterday. Like Janey, we used our creative skills to help improve our community's mental health during the pandemic. Janey shared our story with her many followers and for that we are truly thankful. Farewell Janey

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

@autismprovision Oh my word autocorrect is a pain. That was supposed to say farewell.

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

@autismprovision Fairweather Alicja, I miss our infectious laughter together!

Despite millions of people in Scotland engaging with the arts every year, arts access is critically at risk.

Many organisations face imminent collapse.

It's time to address the state of the arts in Scotland. https://t.co/p7dIaoMWm8

@uniofwarwick

[Campaign for the Arts @_CFTA]

Today @creativescots has announced being forced to delay crucial decisions on £81.2M of applications from 281 arts orgs by three months due to lack of "budget clarity."

This latest blow for arts access will push many orgs into a more critical position.

What is it like going to one of my workshops at @stirreusehub? Here is a wee video explaining my recent relaxed mosaics workshop at the Hub. #communityart #accessibleart #artworkshops https://t.co/Lhvi8aAyH6

Getting excited for #StirlingPride even my kids are getting involved. Have to say it is the first time I have had a drag queen drawing on my garage door. #communityart #garageart

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

This Saturday at @stirreusehub I will be turning rugby shirts donated by @autismprovision into shopping bags! This is a FREE drop-in event and you will not believe how quickly you can make one! All part of #StirlingPride #transitionstirling #reuserevolution #Sustainability

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

@autismprovision @EdScotLfS @LfSScotland @StModansHS Not that I am not hinting in any way (but really am) BUT a fairy garden would be amazing at the farm...just saying...

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

Came home to find this on our doorstep. To some it is just chalk doodles that we do on our garage door but it seems to make our community feel happy. #garageart #communityart #KindnessMatters

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

Absolutely chuffed with this creation! All made from reclaimed materials handed in to @stirreusehub Hope the birds like it!

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

Thank you @JaneyGodley for sharing the love. I am a #CommunityArtist based at @stirreusehub where I work for different charities, mostly vulnerable groups helping them to gain some joy through art/craft/laughter. Life is too short to be dull and boring. #janeygodleysharemyart

[Christine Hilditch @c_hilditch]

“Chris is a wonderful person to work with - she is very welcoming and supportive to all. A joy to work with.”
- some lovely #Feedback given from a recent hospital project.
Thanks again to all the charities that let me come in and spread some creative cheer.

❌ We NEVER want to see a sign like this ever again. ❌

The next government has the power to make that happen.

They can end the need for food banks.
