Valcor
I make gemstone jewellery and beaded gifts and I’ve been creating since 2018. One of my favourite things to do is to take a customers idea and bring it to life. If you have a special event coming up, need a gift for someone, or just want a bespoke piece for yourself, get in touch. I’d love to help and make something special
Designs for you.

So what can we do to support community arts?
Theatre and arts spaces were once the beating heart of communities, bringing people together to learn and grow, and we believe they can be again! If you love the arts and, like us, want to see it growing in our region, we ’ ve got a handy list of suggestions for how to support local arts without spending a penny:
Attend! Go to free/work-in-progress events. Having an audience is so important for performers, artists and makers to develop their own work and build confidence.
Share! Repost events on social media even if you can’t go yourself. It’s so simple but so effective!
Feedback! Offer feedback when invited to do so. This is so useful for artists as they can use the data when applying for funding.
Network! Chat to people at events, find out what’s going on in the local area, share opportunities and if you like someone ’ s work, tell them and tell others!
Educate. Help young people see a viable future in the arts by encouraging them to get involved in clubs and community groups. This helps develop confidence, social skills and creativity.
Recycle me!
WE AIM TO BE A SUSTAINABLE COMPANYRATHER THAN THROWING THIS BROCHURE AWAY PLEASE PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THE WORK WE DO, LEAVE IT IN A COMMUNITY SPACE OR RETURN IT TO THE CAFE AND HELP US REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
