Street creativity is all about solving problems in imaginative ways, using whatever happens to be at hand. It’s about quick thinking and making the most of your surroundings, whether it be turning discarded materials into useful tools, or finding inventive ways to solve everyday challenges using whatever is available.
In this event, Stroud artist and maverick John Ingledew – author of Inspired! The Joy of Street Creativity – will explores how people have used resourcefulness and a flexible mindset to overcome obstacles. He explains why such skills are essential, deserve greater recognition, and should be widely taught so that everyone can become ‘a solution finder’.

Let customers speak for us
from 81 reviewsThis is more than a book about a dress, it's an oral history told in stitches. What stands out is how many voices get space: embroiderers from Egypt to Kosovo to Rwanda, telling their own stories alongside Kirstie Macleod's. Genuinely powerful to see it connect craft, healing, and community across so many countries in one project.
I love it. It´s a wonderful resource of inspiration.
Fletcher's writing is genuine and thoughtful, an interesting perspective on a familiar topic.
The book is amazing and I am looking forward to reading it in detail. The only issue is the smell of the ink, which is so strong I can't handle the book for long because it nearly makes me ill. I am not sure what was used to print this book but please-change printers!
Beautifully inspiring book for many techniques for re using fabric scraps,ideal for slow stitchers,and those who are interested in scrap crafting,or up cycling garments,including sashiko techniques.Lots of different ideas and step by step stitch instructions.This is a book to add to your stitching collection,to refer to again and again

Très beau livre rédigé en anglais, mais les photos et explications permettent de suivre avec beaucoup de facilité
Very inspiring book. I’ve been wanting to try out botanical printing and this gives me all the information I need. I’ve taken a few courses with Sue in the past and she’s always been a great teacher. This book is no exception. Very happy to have it in my collection.
