Stories from the Shed

Stories from the Shed is a community project run by Northfield Arts Forum, kindly funded by the Get Creative Grants.

Since September, the community has been exploring connection through storytelling and art. Together we have created sustainable public artworks, celebrating stories from the community and human relationships. These artworks will be displayed along the garden wall, sharing messages of positive reinforcement from and for the area.

The artworks will also be exhibited in the NAF Shop at Northfield Shopping Centre from December 10th and here on line.

Second City

A series of workshops, collecting stories from Northfield residents who have moved to the area from somewhere else. This project celebrates Northfield’s diversity through story-sharing – we hope to inspire empathy between neighbours. All of the stories will be published in an online zine publication this October…

Hope Streets

Choir, pottery and visual art workshops to create artwork which will bring hope to Northfield after the Covid 19 pandemic. Some of these workshops happened during our HAF scheme, some during our choir rehearsals and we’ll be scheduling more pottery workshops soon…
