The Big Draw

The next event was The Big Draw on 28 th October up in the Rotherfold, a beautiful under used square at the top of Totnes high Street. The day was bright and crisp. We had amassed stacks of cardboard and the Theme was “ taking a line for a walk into the future”. We had black and white paint and chalk. Participants were asked to draw there visions of themselves and community in the future and we had some very beautiful and thought provoking images created. House about had a complete cardboard makeover. This event was co-ordinated by Janey Hunt and myself with our TTTAG hats on and we were ably assisted by Sarah Bainbridge and Ruth Rae, House-About's team as well as local illustrators, Wendy Howarth and Bethan Welby

Transition Streets

The first event House-About appeared was the Transition Streets coffee morning on July 2 nd 2011 in the Civic Hall, Totnes. This event was to celebrate the success of the first Transition streets scheme and invite and inform new people to take part in the next wave. House-About provided a creative play area for children, allowing their parents to relax and share. We were busy from the start, making pin wheels from recycled materials and inviting children to draw pictures of their street and neighbours to pin up on the outside of the play house. House was popular with very young children under 3yrs. It provided a small safe shelter in a large and busy hall. Older children stayed longer and after making a pin wheel started to create objects of their own design from the materials provided.
