The Real Ale and Cider supplied by the George and Dragon Belper has arrived.
This is the first time we have done this - the first time we have offered real Ale and ciders.
Probably the only youth centre to currently smell like a brewery - we hope! as we have a great excuse ... it's a family fundraiser.
Don't worry they are safe and hidden away ready for the fundraising event.

Belper Arts Trail 2013
The installation took 3 trips, but once it was all in place it did look pretty cool.
The installation looked good once all in place.
Sadly the final idea was to stitch a timeline through the mesh banner.
Each of the stiched lines would be different colours to represent the different links and influences between projects.
This would have made it more an interactive multimedia piece of work complimenting the digitally printed mesh banners as the main display.
There are 8 different frames displaying 12 different banners showing a timeline over all 13 years in operation.
Through producing this timeline to discover the recontexualised projects we currently have, we also found that each year there have been more and more creative projects being ran.
This is probably because the most popular creative projects get re-ran and re-planned or even joint to future project.
This is the fist time we have brought this project evolution to our attention.
It was a very interesting find.
We picked the pyramid shape and idea to represent the recycling of the creative projects we have ran.
Each of these pyramid grid timelines visually show how projects have influence and been adapted over the years.
To make our recontexual timeline of creative projects more interactive we also included some QR (Quick Response) codes.
The QR codes link to sound clips or films of projects to expand on what you see on the digital timelines.

Belper Arts Trail Planning 2013
Planning and model for Belper Arts Trail 2013.
Humm, what could it be this year?
Plans and sketches for 2013 Belper Arts Trail.
- Timeline of recontexual projects.
The concept is taking old work and almost reworking / remaking / remixing it ...
We are not one artist, we are a youth centre with a vibrant past or creative projects.
We decided to pick out all our creative projects and see where they have been re-used / combined and remixed to create or inspire new projects.
For example DOODLE DRUM one of newest projects is two projects combined to create a new one. The Trash drumming evolved from Drum cirlces at a festival years ago. The illustration part developed through running a series of different art workshops and indoor graffiti sessions.
We can trace most projects back to see where they adapted and expanded from.
This will be a time consuming process, but once created it should show a visual timeline illustrating how our projects have been recontexualised over 13 years to create new creative work(shops).

Doodle Drum - Willington Arts Festival 2013
Construction of our new 'Doodle Drum' project.
Really looking forward to see if this workshop works.
DOODLE DRUM begins.
Lets see what happens, bit nervous about running this new workshop.
The idea was to mix trash drumming with
an illustration workshop ...
This could get very loud and very messy.
Lets create!
The doodling is looking very bright and interesting.
We've had some really cool beats going on as well.
Lets do some call and response.
The DOODLE DRUM frames are getting covered with cool artwork.
Great mix of ages getting involved.
This is a lot of fun.
We've started drumming with some of the paint brushes now.
This art is created by sound and has so many textures.
Where will it end up though?
Gather some more noises.
Now the art is illustrations are influence by the noise.
Everyone is painting to the sound track.
As the drumming session shatter off parts of paint revealing new surfaces.
The paint skins are getting deeper with more layers and textures.
All the surfaces of the DOODLE DRUM fames keep changing.
Both the DOODLE DRUM frames after the first workshop.
This was the loudest and messiest workshop we have ever ran ... But it was so much fun and pretty creative.
We enjoyed it as much os the young people taking part.
