Rippling Out

We are excited to share details of the Rippling Out project.  

​​

There are two strands to the Rippling Out project which runs from January to April 2025. 

In our community crafting and literature engagement workshops: Medway based artists will lead free open access creative workshops. Attendees will be able to learn what 'Phoetry' is and have a go; put poems onto pottery; make zines inspired by the nature and the climate; make art books inspired by the hidden words at Chatham Historic Dockyard; and learn how to upcycle and recycle clothes and other items. 

​

Aligning with our festival's sustainability theme; craft activities and materials have been selected for their longevity, reusability, or ease of recycling. We'll also be using recycled materials in the crafts. 

We're also bringing some thought-provoking theatre, comedy and poetry to Medway, in accessible afternoon performances. All activities are suitable for an older family audience, so long as young people are accompanied by a parent or guardian, (due to the nature of some of the topics, parental discretion and an age guideline of 14+ is recommended, unless detailed).
