CRAFT & SKILLS WORKSHOPS
We at Dream are passionate about educating and empowering people in traditional crafts, heritage skills, and Christian youth work & ministry, so that both lives and heritage are restored.
Over the years we hope to develop our resources and educational provision, so that:
*communities are equipped and empowered to save their local heritage sites;
*alternatively skilled peoples can thrive in the rich variety of vocational jobs the heritage & cultural sector can provide;
*young people can find their value, worth & most importantly their God-given potential through real vocational futures;
*lives can be restored and re-storied through access to arts & crafts;
*the important heritage skills & tradtional crafts don't become lost;
*heritage can be appropriately & sympathetically restored & preserved for future generations;
*churches are supported with the maintenance of their important buildings & their outreach to younger generations;
*to meet the deficiency in skilled craftspeople & Christian youth workers

DREAM STUDIOS
"CATHEDRALS OF CREATIVITY IN THE HEART OF THE NORTH"
We are so blessed (despite all the difficulties & obstacles we've had to overcome to get here) to be able to open our first of two planned Dream Studios in the North of England to complement and help further our mission to restore the ruins in people, places & communities, and to empower others to do the same.
We have witnessed first-hand how our work & ministry makes a HUGE difference to that person, or that community, or that piece of heritage, but we don't want to stop there! We realise that we cannot do all the good that this world needs, BUT that this world needs all the good that we can do! We don't want to become a large empire of an organisation, but to EMPOWER.
Through a mixture of heritage skills training, traditional crafts & art workshops, cultural & arts projects, community heritage & archaeology projects, and Christian youth worker training, we hope to meet the deficit in skilled craftspeople and Christian Youth workers. By doing so we hope to create real futures for young people; to encourage local communities to drive local positive change & save their local heritage; to support churches with the maintenance of their incredible buildings and with their ministry & outreach; and to restore heritage.
We aim to create a lasting legacy where heritage is saved and lives are changed!
Over the next few years, through the support of sponsors & volunteers, we hope to expand our availability of workshops & training provisions.
For now, we welcome you to our Dream Studios @The Barn, East Yorkshire, and look forward to welcoming you in the future to Dream Studios @The Chapel, Aysgarth, Yorkshire Dales.
