Creative KEEN Submissions: Project open to new entries!
This week our members have been given the challenge of photographing a creative skill they have developed through attending KEEN’s projects.
These are some examples of the creative skills and talents KEEN members have been up to!

“I made a sock puppet.”
“Painting is one of my favourite activities at KEEN Teens.”
“
I did lots of craft with KEEN and enjoyed making things. I learnt to make things and not get stressed when I make mistakes. I like my wizard's hat.”
“I have just learnt how to make a 'tree-mask' from pizza boxes in a really creative way”
Baking and Cooking
Our members have been developing their baking skills in our online baking sessions with Roxy.
“I love KEEN zoom cooking”
“I learnt to bake and everyone really liked the brownies that I made.”

Photos from our INK groups
INK is an art based social enterprise. The workshop sessions hosted by professional artists are all about participants producing wonderful artworks and building confidence and ideas about their own lives, through creative arts and social enterprise. INK creates an inclusive environment to develop art skills and aims to make money from these skills. These images show members working on understanding images of sound, doodle walls and mother nature.
This project is open to all KEEN members. If you feel inspired by these posts and want to get involved please email your photos and captions by the end of the day on Thursday the 2nd of July to intern@keenoxford.org
