Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth.

Smooth 2 Phase7

We are now entering 2008 with a new phase of the smooth project. This continues our arts culture and food culture exploration. Three main aspects of this work will relate to a separate & distinct project that will create a resource printed recipe cards and related stories and a community feast.

Towards this feast the cooking days are hosted at Theatr Mwldan the results are served up in the theatr foyer. This part of the project is called "No Such Thing as a Free Lunch" and as such we invite the public to come and share the feast but to also feel free to tell a story especially if it related to the food being served. This low pressure story telling started with Bill Hamblett SWT's Artistic Director telling a Sudanese story about a farmer and his inheritance called "The Search for Gold" while we all enjoyed a spread of vegetarian dishes inspired by middle eastern and Arabic cuisine.

A experiential trip to Margham Park near Port Talbot to gather inspiration from the sculpture trail the environment and the house. We will now create an environment in our new building from the objects that one section of the community group will contrive. Another group will create the food for a feast at the centre of the event . Some people have signed up for both courses that will also gain them an Open College Network (OCN) qualification.
