Embracing a New Week

As the sun rises on another Monday, a sense of rejuvenation fills the air at DES. It's the start of a fresh week, a canvas of opportunities waiting to be painted with vibrant colours. Mondays here are not just the beginning of the working week; they're a celebration of new beginnings, a chance to embrace the energy that comes with a clean slate.


For our students, Mondays symbolise a renewed commitment to their creative pursuits. With the Tarka Yard Festival only days away, the workshop is alive with enthusiasm. The positive energy reverberates as students gather, eager to continue crafting their art, refining their skills, and putting the final touches on their masterpieces. It's an inspiring sight, witnessing their dedication, fuelled by the knowledge that their creations will soon be showcased to the world.


Mondays at DES embody the spirit of growth and empowerment. It's a day when individual passions converge, each student adding their unique brushstroke to the collective canvas of creativity. Our students are embarking on a journey of self discovery, where every week holds the promise of progress and every project undertaken is a step towards achieving our fullest potential.


As we embrace this new week, let's remember the power it holds - the power to create, to inspire, and to set the stage for the upcoming Tarka Yard Festival. We're grateful for Mondays, for they herald the unfolding of our students' talents, the dedication of our community, and the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world through art and inclusion.

The tools of their trade are visible, including a pencil, wooden block, and various crafting tools laid out on a green cutting mat marked with measurement grids. This scene captures the intricate attention to detail involved in the creative process.

Countdown to the Festival

With each passing day, the excitement swells - the Tarka Yard Festival is just around the corner, and our students are pouring their hearts and souls into preparing for this grand event. The countdown has begun, and the workshop buzzes with a focussed determination.


From meticulously handcrafted keyrings to intricate dioramas, the fruits of our students' labour are taking shape. The artistry, the attention to detail - it's all a testament to the passion that drives them. They understand that the festival is not just an event; it's a platform to showcase their abilities, to share their creativity with the world, and to inspire others with their stories.


Amid the hustle and bustle, there's a palpable sense of unity. Students collaborate, exchange ideas, and encourage one another. It's a beautiful reminder that art, community, and empowerment go hand in hand. As we witness their dedication, we're reminded of the transformative power of a supportive environment, one where everyone is celebrated for their unique talents.


As the final strokes are added and the finishing touches are made, we eagerly anticipate the festival, knowing that it will serve as proof of the unwavering spirit of our students. We invite you to share in this excitement, to be part of the journey as we prepare to unveil their creations to the world.


The image shows a detailed miniature diorama depicting a rustic cabin with a weathered wood exterior and a shingled roof covered in moss. In the foreground, there's a miniature clothesline with tiny pieces of fabric hanging, simulating laundry. The surrounding landscape is lush with greenery, colourful flowers, and moss, suggesting a quaint rural setting. The depth of field is shallow, with the background blurred, focusing attention on the cabin and clothesline. The craftsmanship highlights a charming and idyllic scene.

The stage is set, the anticipation is electric, and the Tarka Yard Festival is about to burst forth in a spectacular display of art, unity, and celebration. It's an event that embodies the very essence of what we do - empowering individuals, fostering creativity and creating a space where every voice is heard.
