SUMMARY:BLP & Upland Present: Stranr-ART
DESCRIPTION:As part of our ongoing work to connect young people with artists and makers\, we have collaborated with Better Lives Partnership this year to create a fun-filled programme of activity for their service users. Upland has partnered up with BLP Stranraer\, who support autistic young adults\, to connect them with a range of artists/makers from different disciplines of interest – filmmaking\, pottery and textiles – which were identified by the young people as skills they would like to learn. The young people were able to experiment with the different artforms in a series of taster sessions based at both BLP and the artists/makers studios. They then chose to develop one of these three disciplines further\,and have been guided by the expert artist/maker to hone their new skills in a series of workshops over the past four months. \n\n\n\nWe have been sharing pictures from the filmmaking\, pottery and textiles workshops along the way\, and are now very excited to announce that the young people will be holding an exhibition of the work they made in these sessions! Join them at The Hub\, Stranraer from noon on Thursday 19th September for their exhibition opening\, or pop in to see the exhibition anytime from Thursday – Saturday during the opening hours. \n\n\n\n\nThursday 19th (12pm – 4pm)\n\n\n\nFriday 20th (11am – 4pm)\n\n\n\nSaturday 21 September (10am – 2pm)

DESCRIPTION:Is music your passion? Do you want to learn how to write your own songs? Then join Stacey Joy\, who is back with another round of singer songwriter sessions! \n\n\n\nThese classes are beginner-friendly and will explore themes such as: ‘What is a song’ and ‘How to take inspiration and begin to craft a song’\, before diving into song structure and critiques. \n\n\n\nThose 16+ are welcome to these classes\, whether you can play an instrument or are simply interested in learning how to write songs. While Stacey can assist those learning guitar and piano\, please be mindful that these sessions are not music classes and therefore\, it is recommended that those playing instruments have some knowledge of the instrument they play.

SUMMARY:Sandcastle Competition
DESCRIPTION:Sandcastle competitions are an ancient tradition for coastal communities\, an excuse to spend time down by the water and exercise the creative potential of natural materials. We’re hoping to create a future waterfront that is a place where families want to gather and to feel more connected to.  \n\n\n\nStranraer’s waterfront regeneration is set to transform the town in new and exciting ways\, and we’re keen for these designs to be co-created  to ensure a future landscape that reflects the needs of all communities – both human and sea species!   \n\n\n\nDuring the sandcastle competition event\, local people will be provided with their very own Stranraer Oyster Sandcastle Bucket to use and take home for future days down by the water.  \n\n\n\nThe competition will give local people of all ages the opportunity to take part in co-designing future structures of the coast\, be inspired by the shapes of their local ecology\, and build sand sculptures alongside artist in residence Maya Rose Edwards. \n\n\n\nWe intend to make use of the dredged materials from Loch Ryan in the plans for the new piece of land in creative ways that benefit the unique natural environment. This is your chance to be a part of imagining your own re-use of natural materials to inform the design process.  \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will transform the shape of the coast into a man-made community oyster bed for the afternoon. The most inventive structure will receive a prize for their efforts\, and all participants will be allowed to take home their Stranraer Oyster Sandcastle Bucket provided on the day.  \n\n\n\nHot drinks will be provided. Please dress appropriately for the weather\, all children to be accompanied by an adult.
