Project Poi
Monday nights come down and try fire Poi,
No flamable clothes please, it is a dangerous art!
What is Poi? Basically "its two bits of sponge on some string", but technically, its a form of dancing originating from the Māori people of new zealand.
Ive been practicing Poi through hobby for the last two years, but only recently have taken up Fire poi ("two bits of fire on some chain") Its an absolute, great skill to have for wowing at parties (out door of course) and for attracting attention of high passer byes at festivals. Either way, wether poi is used for amazing other people, or just for self therapy. it is a hypnotic and energising experience for anyone to have, which is why project poi is here. To give the Drop inn members an oppertunity to have a go in the art of fire poi. The sessions will be run on an open-schedule process, meaning it will be free-going for anyone to take part. just be sure to attend Monday evenings from after 7 o'clock.
Hope to see you soon
WARNING:
-Fire is hot and will hurt incredibly much (so no flamable clothes please, e.g Nylon. and go easy on the hair spray)
-pyra-maniacs will need parental concent
Take care peeps, peace out

U.V
The long awaited U.V project starts this month, with small projects leading up to it, like the re-paint of the back wall (Graffiti wall). The U.V project will run along side the Graffiti Projects, blending the two together. U.V will then introduce some new creative and BRIGHT ideas. Come down and play in U.V
Coming soon plans for U.V project starting as part 3 of the graffiti season.
The Feature wall in Warehouse to be painted under U.V lights with U.V paints. Starting with patching the gaps in the existing graffiti. Some of the names will be covered or blended into other artwork. If anyone has any idea, try drawing a picture and bringing it down. Some of the simple designs can be made into stencils.
There are Three screens as a random piece of art constructed in the corner, more artwork will be painted over the top to give an Urban city scape scene. The otherside of the wall therte is ideas to build another 3D graffiti art piece using speakers (so anyone with busted old speakers please bring them down)
A familiar poster used for the original U.V idea. The project has expanded a lot since the first poster, so this is an updated version with the listing of all the workshops and new ideas for the U.V project.
A series of U.V lights have been installed on the back wall already, more will be installed on the nights of the project. people who are not painting and want to carry on with the usual activities may have to U.V what ever they're using ... like paint your skate boards U.V and the table tennis and pool. The whole main space will only be light in U.V , lighting.
The desired Result will be a crazy back wall to draw lots of attention and look insane for parties haha!
The work on the wall has started already and will continue for another 2-3 weeks, then the U.V paint will come out!
While the U.V graffiti's rolling there will be other neon elements introduced to run along side.
Check this Video of U.V project. It's very inspiring, think we should try and create something similar?
