In other news – we’ve been busy working on projects in Cambridgeshire villages and on West London canals (with DK-CM and @europaaporue), and in Stevenage New Town (be still our beating hearts). If you have a problem in your village/town/city, get in touch: [email protected]
The first run of our Wealdstone Legs has now sold out – in the world of community-led design, you snooze, you lose. We’re in negotiations about a second run. In the meantime, you can read about the project here: w-y-w.co.uk

Tonight: If New England House Could Speak, What Would It Say? Join artist and illustrator @peternencini for a live, strange, beautiful design workshop using fragments of the building. eventbrite.co.uk/e/4-peter-n…
Our final talk is artist and illustrator @PeterNencini next Thursday 12 July, asking ‘If New England House Could Speak, What Would It Say?’ Tickets here (£5 waged/£2.50 unwaged/ZH) eventbrite.co.uk/e/4-peter-n…
Last week, we hosted @ruthclaxton from @eprjcts, in our third talk on production, on ‘Building an Artist Friendly City’.
And she talked about Birmingham’s coat of arms, which features an artist and an engineer, and how Eastside (and @PeterNencini) produced a children’s story based on this crest, asking whether the city could ever stop knocking itself down, over and over again.
