North Staffordshire CRP

As part of the national Fun Palaces weekend in early October, the North Staffordshire Community Rail Partnership (NSCRP) welcomed Ceramic City Stories on board with their “Magic Drawing” activity facilitated by artists and a rail historian. Travellers were invited to create their own line drawing of an historic local railway picture, using carbon paper. There was a great atmosphere in the bunting-bedecked carriage with lots of creativity and discussion taking place. http://funpalaces.co.uk/
