A business which uses arts and crafts to inspire children in Darlington has appointed a new creative assistant as the service is extended across Teesside ahead of the summer holidays. NEDay Crafts runs arts and craft workshops, children’s parties and produces craft kits for kids of all ages as well as running corporate team building events.
To date the organisation has been restricted to Darlington, but will now take its inspiring work into Middlesbrough and Stockton, with a series of summer events planned.
The company has appointed 23-year-old Kirsty Oliver, from Willington, as its new creative assistant to handle the increased coverage of the business and help with its ongoing expansion.
Business owner Vicky Lloyd said: “I chose Kirsty as she has a wealth of experience working with children and is very enthusiastic about children’s arts and crafts. She is willing to learn new skills and adapt to various tasks within my business.”
Ms Oliver added: “NEDay Crafts is a much-needed service and I am very much looking forward to imputing creative skills into such a successful business.”
Events for children of all ages, which include seaside and animal themed workshops and the chance to make sun visors and puppets and listen to storytellers, are scheduled across the region right through the summer and into September.
Some of the workshops are being held as part of the Middlesbrough Council-led We Are Open initiative – a scheme which revives city centre spaces such as empty shop fronts with art studios and creative events.
As part of the company’s ongoing development, Ms Lloyd is also aiming to grow the creative consultancy arm of her business after the busy summer ahead.
The service designs new craft kits for specific occasions, such as fundraising events or children's party, with projects available to suit from 10 to 200 children.
