THE saying goes ‘sharing is caring’ and this couldn’t be more true for visual arts learners at Cheshire College who, in their latest project, are reaching out to local communities through their art to make supportive connections during these difficult times. The college’s ‘Create, Share, Collect’ project has recently seen postcards of learners’ artwork based on local architecture sent to care homes in the area alongside personalised messages from those who created them. Inspired by the likes of Chester Cathedral and St John the Baptist s Church, learners began working on the project in December 2020 using a range of block printing and illustration techniques, before digital copies were made to be printed on to postcards which were sent out earlier this month.

Although the return of the bells this week represents an exciting, visible sign of the progress that is being made to bring St John s back to the beautiful house of prayer. While these signs are very much ones of progress there is still some way to go as we prepare to turn our attention to the work required on the inside of the church, which will transform the building into one which we see as being a friendly, welcoming one for the use of the community in Royston.
