SUMMARY:The Doctor Who Scarf Project - Knitting Starter Day
DESCRIPTION:Help us make Weston-super-Mare a sea of colourful Doctor Who loveliness by learning to knit your own Doctor Who scarf and join us in knitting the longest ever community made Doctor Who scarf! \nWe’re so excited about our new exhibition – ‘ADVENTURES IN TIME AND SPACE – 60 YEARS OF DOCTOR WHO ART’\, which runs from 21 October 2023 – 27 January 2024. We just want to wrap ourselves in Doctor Who fun\, so we’ve decided to get knitting and you can join us too! \nGrab one of our knitting starter packs from the museum shop (throughout the exhibition dates) and get going with your own scarf. You can even join us on one of our special knitting starter days (24/10/23 or 06/01/24)\, where there will be a team of knitting helpers ready to get you started and show you a basic stitch. There’s no charge to join this event and no need to book\, you just need to purchase one of the starter packs and find an available helper in our Learning Space. Knitting is a great hobby for almost any age and you don’t need to know loads of complicated stitches; just one will enable you to make something to be proud of. \nEver wondered why the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) had such a long striped scarf? – The story goes that the costume designer gave a knitter a big bag of wool and asked her to knit a scarf. He thought she would choose what she liked from the bag\, but instead she used up the whole lot and an iconic piece of Doctor Who fashion was created! Some sources say that first scarf was 20 feet long and we want to beat that by knitting our own longest ever jointly made Doctor Who scarf. We’ve already started the scarf and we will be adding to it over the whole run of the exhibition (up until January 2024). Once we’ve had some fun wrapping up various things in our awesome scarf we plan to chop it down into standard lengths and finish these off to go towards our ‘Warm Bundles Project’. We’ve been working with other community organisations to gather bundles (scarves\, gloves\, hats etc) that are given to homeless people. This means that our long scarf will go to a good cause. \nHave you got any spare wool or needles at home? If you’d like to donate them to our project to help out with making this amazing creation then we’d be very grateful for them. Just email the museum FAO Katherine Bell (Learning and Events Officer). \nIf you’d like to know more information or arrange dropping off some wool or needles\, just email museum@wsm-tc.gov.uk

Her artistic journey began with a heartfelt initiative called ‘Humans of Weston\,’ which she created as a way to honour and acknowledge the diverse individuals residing in her local area. \nInitially\, ‘Humans of Weston’ comprised a collection of striking portraits accompanied by life stories. \nGrowing up on an estate marked by social deprivation\, Bev’s personal experiences shaped her perspective on the power of art to bring people together. With this vision in mind\, she transformed ‘Humans of Weston’ into a CIC which she is the managing director of and created a platform for fostering connections within the community through creativity. As part of this evolution\, she created a local radio show titled ‘Humans of Weston.’ \nBev’s passion lies in developing socially engaging projects that empower individuals to stretch their imaginations\, cultivate ideas\, and showcase their creativity to the world. By doing so\, she creates invaluable experiences that forge deep connections\, enhances community spirit\, and promote self-esteem among participants. \nAs a visual artist\, Bev’s talents have garnered recognition and numerous commissions. She has been commissioned by Upfest\, Europe’s largest Street Art & Graffiti festival\, where her works have added to the festival’s vibrant atmosphere. Culture Weston\, has also sought Bev’s artistic creativity for their Glow event for two consecutive years\, including the Super Shrines project and Climate Carnival. Including Weston Arboretum’s light festival. \nRecognising the significance of collaboration and community involvement\, Bev has collaborated with North Somerset Community Learning\, working closely with the wider community. Her inclusive approach knows no boundaries\, as she fervently believes in encouraging people from all walks of life to find their voice and take charge in bringing their ideas to life. \nBev G Star’s artistic journey is a testament to the profound impact that art can have on individuals and communities alike. Through her unwavering dedication\, she continues to uplift\, inspire\, and celebrate the people and places that have shaped her life.
