Formed In Foleshill in Full: Reigniting Creativity And Connection

How craft sessions reconnected a Foleshill community group to its neighbour - the library. And why we captured the stories behind the objects and people a part of the group to form a unique digital archive.

This exclusive podcast episode looks back on the initial aims of the project, and evaluates some of the lessons that were learnt along the way.

The Formed In Foleshill project included Craftspace, Shelanu, Broad Street Hall’s Wellness Junction, staff at Coventry Libraries and other supporting freelance artists such as oral historian Laura Owen and artist Jennifer Collier.

'Digital Spaces present' is the culmination of a Coventry Libraries Project supported by The Space and with funding from Arts Council England and the BFI.

Presented by Clare Freeman. Visit coventry.gov.uk/libraries for more information.

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
