Hunky Punk artist recruitment with SAW (with a deadline this Friday!)

Just a quick update about our art and community project about the Hunky Punks at All Saints Langport.

We're using some of our Heritage Lottery Fund grant, as well as match-funding from SAW to hire an artist to help us develop the project to run workshops in schools and the local communities. I'm bringing it up on the blog because if you're a textiles artist, and especially if you're under 25, there's an opportunity for you to work on this part of the project with us!  Check out the application form on SAW's website, and get filling in, the deadline's on Friday!! (I'm on the interview panel, eek!!)

The workshops will be designed for the attendees to learn how to make as many Hunky Punk sock monsters as they like (see previous blogpost's image) to take home and keep... providing that they're brought to the Hunky Punk toy product launch event at the church. 

Our aim is to have the church absolutely brimming with Hunky Punk sock monsters, all made by local people of all ages. (If you're interested in attending a workshop and creating your own Hunky Punks, keep checking back on the blog, or also follow our twitter feed to find out when and where they'll be!)

The serious bit behind this fun spectacle will be that by creating your own Hunky Punk, you'll learn a bit more about the stone Hunky Punks on the church, what they're for, why All Saints has so many, and the history of these particular Hunky Punks. What's not to enjoy?
