20x20 Storytelling from Walsall
Join CBC Monday's at 4.00pm via ZOOM or Facebook to hear fast-paced inspirational presentations from creative practitioners and speakers who will share their work using 20 images with just 20 seconds to talk through each one.
For our second season of 20x20 we’re heading to Walsall to hear from 6 different creatives over 3 weeks.
For our first 20x20 focussing on Walsall we welcome Geoff Henderson of Urban Hax and Paul Mason of Goscote Greenacres.
Urban Hax CIC is a non-profit makerspace with a mission is to build a community of makers, tinkerers, innovators and hobbyists who come together to share their knowledge, skills and crafts with other members of the community. Their goals are to build upon the knowledge of others, establish a creative space where people can come together (young and old) to nurture the basic human desire to make, and give access to tools and equipment that aren’t commercially available to the public.

It aims to bring people together around gardening and is taken care of by volunteers who grow a range of fruit and vegetables which are available for sale from the on-site farm shop.
