Bread recipes

Harold Offeh, Open House Artist in Residence 2017, collaborated with community partners throughout the year culminating in the Open House Gathering and Feast which took place in September 2017.

Offeh invited Anna Brownsted, Artist Facilitator, to help him to discover our local amateur bakers and support them to share their skills of bread recipes and there significance within their own cultural traditions.

Make your own coaster

Artist Facilitator Willow Mitchell worked with families at the Red Hen Project.

The Red Hen families wanted to share their new skills with the wider community and have created their own ‘How to’ notes with Willow which will show you how to make your own woollen coaster.

Foraging Map of North Cambridge

Illustrator Joe Lyward worked with artist Harold Offeh, local forager Jacky Sutton-Adam and local residents to create a basic guide to foraging in North Cambridge.

We hope that this basic guide, available to download here, will inspire you to get out, look and learn about what’s available in your local area.

Word Fun

Members of the Kettle Club, a social group who meet on the first Tuesday of the month, 10.30 – 12 noon at St George’s Church Hall, have been working with Kettle’s Yard artist Rosanna Martin.
