the Banner Bonanza
The Banner Bonanza Project was funded by an Awards 4 All Lottery grant and organised by Congleton Community Projects. Local environmental artist Jacki Clark and other local artists held workshops in ten of our local schools, Carter House and Visyon creating the colourful fun banners that now decorate the town.



The theme of the project was healthy eating and healthy living and after a discussion and fun activities around the topics the children devised designs onto plastic carrier bags which were then ironed on to pond netting measuring 12' x 3'. The banners were then decorated with ribbon and plastic knives and forks. Plastic pond netting was used to allow the wind to blow easily though the banners.
