Day 21 in the Love Easton house.
8.30 am - Two members of ProjectEaston have an early start, heading over to one of the local schools to run a workshop with one of the year nine classes. The team brought photos of shops along stapleton road and instigate a painting and drawing session. The class are asked to design new signs for each shop, in the hope of brightening up the main thoroughfare.
9.45 am - Team all back together. Sit down to work out the document contents and layout, page by page. This is followed by an Indesign tutorial for those who haven't used the program before.
Tick Tock Tim heads out with a shopping list (50 items) for the exhibition. Never seen again.
Afternoon - ProjectEaston members work on various things for the document and exhibition.
4pm - Tick Tock arrives back and.... finally manages to rip a yellow pages in two! Blogger muses on whether the three previous days of trying to do this lessens the success somewhat.
5pm - Food fuddle banner is hoisted in the shop window and Bex sets about making a pumpkin suprise for the evening.
6pm - Fuddle begins! The evening is really successful, mainly due to the heroic marketing efforts of Poppy. A local shop owner donates much of the food and gave us a masterclass in Somali cooking.

About Us
- ProjectLoveEaston
- Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October. The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations. This urban regeneration document will clearly set out residents’ visions and will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority. The ProjectEaston team is based out of the LoveEaston cafe on Stapleton Rd for the duration of the project and the outcomes will be exhibited at the Bristol Architecture Centre from the 3rd November. Come along!
