Poetry and typewriters

October 28, 2021 by Candida Wingate

An old fashioned Olympia typewriter with handwritten notes either side

It being half term, Special Delivery did not visit Pakefield Primary school this week – but we did go to Hildesley Court, where we were greeted by a room full of residents (and guests) keen to take part in the session. Having read out the children’s statements about achievements – and aspirations – at certain […]

First jobs – and a wish for the future

October 21, 2021 by Candida Wingate

In Lowestoft, Special Delivery is based on a collection of letters sent to Trevor Westgate, a journalist on the local newspaper. Readers wrote in with their stories about the town and each week Trevor published one or two in his ‘Westgate on Friday’ column. After he retired, the letters were given to the Suffolk Record […]

Blending, layering – and splodging

October 21, 2021 by Candida Wingate

I have just spend a glorious day with the Brave Art students, staff and textile artist Shelly, in Lowestoft. First, Shelly introduced the group to some simple watercolour techniques and everyone mixed and blended and generally had a great time creating all sorts of patterns and images whilst discovering ways to work with the paint. […]

Now you see me …

A drawing of the face, with the words Special Delivery stamped on it

Our magnificent volunteer, Amanda, has not been able to join us on our current Special Delivery programme, but that hasn’t stopped her joining in the fun. Hopefully, she’ll be able to join us next term, when we’ll be working with two more Lowestoft primary schools.

Laminated likenesses

October 14, 2021 by Candida Wingate

Who would think we could go from this … … to this? or from this … to this …? Photographs of the participants were printed onto sheets of acetate and then used as a template to draw round and decorate. These drawings, complete with embellishments of colourful lighting gels, phrases, names and, of course, the […]

Greetings and Goodbyes

October 7, 2021 by Candida Wingate

A collection of postit notes with emojis and greetings

This week, residents at Hildesley Court got to read the responses to the postcards they wrote last week to the Pakefield Primary school children. As Libby noted, it felt strange writing to someone she had never met, and part of the session was spent chatting about different ways of addressing letters, from ‘Dear Sir or […]

Special Delivery in Lowestoft

October 4, 2021 by Candida Wingate

A group of school children, each writing a postcard

It was lovely to be back at Hildesley Court and Pakefield Primary school last week, for the first session of Special Delivery in Lowestoft. Working with community poet, Dean Parkin, we first went to Hildesley Court, where residents regaled us with stories of their first days at school. One adult recounted that, on her first […]
