Hello!
We wanted to share two upcoming opportunities from Heart of Glass that might be of interest to our fellow Culture Network LCR members. We’d really appreciate your help sharing with your team and relevant contacts.
1) With For About 2026: Are you playing out? 🪁Tickets are now live for WFA 2026.
The day brings together
artists and practitioners who make art with children and young people - including artists, youth workers, play workers, teachers and producers.
As ever, With For About is a reflective, practice-based gathering rooted in shared thinking, curiosity, poetry and play.
We’re also offering a limited number of £50 bursaries to support artists, freelancers and independent practitioners to attend.
Booking is now open:
https://www.heartofglass.org.uk/project-and-events/events/wfa20262) Introduction to permaculture for artists, creatives and cultural workers 🌱We’re also running a short, subsidised course led by Liz Postlethwaite (permaculture designer and creative practitioner), exploring how permaculture principles can support creative practice, collaboration and long-term, regenerative thinking.
It’s a practical, accessible introduction - no prior knowledge needed - and could be particularly useful for members interested in ethical, socially engaged and regenerative ways of working.
Across three sessions (two online + one in person at Make Huyton), participants will:
- Learn core permaculture principles and how they relate to creative work
- Explore examples of projects using these ideas
- Reflect on their own practice and try out practical tools
- Connect with a supportive peer group
Subsidised cost:
Freelancer £10 | Micro org £25 | Small org £45 | Large org £65
