We Heart Cancer Research UK - Girl Guides Centenary Celebrations
On 4th July 2010 we were lucky enough to be a part of Race 100, a marvellous celebration of 100 years of Girl Guiding… with over 1000 Girl Guides! Gulp!
The event took place on a beautifully sunny day at the famous Rowley Mile, Newmarket Race Course. The Atelier East team was there to create a junk sculpture out of loads of pink and red plastic rubbish items.
The theme for the event was Well-being, and working on the idea that well-being is about taking care of yourself and others, and that encompasses things like health and love- we decided to make a whopping great heart!
It was a brilliant day! We were up on the terrace, shaded from the direct sun, with a lovely breeze, fantastic view and… did I mention, 1000 Girl Guides?!
The sculpture has been donated to Cancer Research UK in Cambridge and will be on display there before moving on to one of their shop displays, and then eventually we hope to auction the piece off! (Get in touch if you want a 5 foot plastic heart- its a beauty!)
Oooo, and… news just in- one of our Manea Young Artist’s spotted the Heart in transit… from the bungee trampoline! Nice one!
