This is lovely Michelle Tripp @yipchell who has been working on Our Line Connections as the Lead Visual Artist & co-created some amazing pictures & evocative art with groups in Darlington, Aycliffe & Bishop Auckland.
Michelle describes herself as a facilitator who allows an individual’s creativity to grow.

This summer we're reflecting on everything that happened with #OurLineConnections in the spring, thinking about what still needs to happen and all the new possibilities it's opened up through rich and fascinating conversations & stories shared with people young & old, across Darlington & Co Durham. π
This picture, pulled together by our aces Chell Yip , represents just some of it. Hope you love it as much as we do π‘
