"Create With Me" with Resident Artist Jessica Shiner

“Create With Me” sessions are designed to encourage creative exploration, experimentation, and play in a relaxed, supportive environment. Rather than a formal art class with step-by-step instruction, these gatherings offer participants the opportunity to create alongside artist Jessica Shiner and fellow creatives. Throughout the session, Jessica is available to offer guidance, encouragement, creative prompts, and helpful suggestions when needed. Each session begins with a brief warm-up exercise in participants' art journals to help spark creativity, quiet self-judgment, and ease into the creative process. From there, attendees are invited to explore their own ideas, materials, and artistic interests at their own pace. These sessions are open to artists, makers, and creatives of all experience levels—from seasoned artists to those who haven't picked up a paintbrush in years. In fact, anyone who believes they "aren't creative" is especially encouraged to attend. “Create With Me” is a welcoming space to reconnect with curiosity, discover new forms of self-expression, and experience the joy of creating without pressure or expectations. Your Session Includes: Use of art supplies (paint, brushes, stencils, ephemera, etc) Art journal Informal coaching as needed Use of space for 2 hours (shared with up to 13 others) Sessions: $35/session Saturday, July 25: 10:30AM-12:30PM Friday, August 7: 10:30AM-12:30PM Saturday, August 7: 10:30AM-12:30PM Sign Up Here

Street Pastors (Portswood patrol base)

Every Saturday evening, there is a Street Pastors Patrol of Portswood High Street. The team base themselves in the back hall at Portswood Church and go out in teams from here. Who are the Street Pastors and what do they do? Street Pastors is a response of the local Christian community in Southampton to the needs of our City. There are currently 111 street pastors and 31 prayer pastors, providing support and prayer whilst street pastors are on duty. The Street Pastors offer reassurance, safety as well as practical help and support through listening, caring and helping. They meet people in the moment, taking a non-judgemental approach. Their trained volunteers run regular patrols at night-time in Southampton city centre and in the parks and in the suburbs throughout the city during the day and evening. They offer a reassuring presence that is relied upon by door staff, police, paramedics, city officials and communities. Since Street Pastors have been operating in the City and suburbs, there has been a 22% reduction in A&E admissions and reduction in violent crime during peak come from over 57 churches, giving 4-6 hours for a patrol once a month. For more information, visit their website: [https://streetpastors.org/locations/southampton/](https://streetpastors.org/locations/southampton/)
