Sustainable Crediton has a flag flying in Crediton High Street for the next 6 weeks as part of the CredFest Flag Festival. See if you can spot it ! Crediton Arts Centre organised the event which has seen two local artists co-ordinating the design and sewing of 40 flags representing local shops and organisations. The flags are designed to brighten the High Street during the Crediton Festival which runs until mid July.

Flag making workshops took place in the old Treloars shop on Crediton High Street during March, April and Early May. Paula Mossman and Anne Thomson undertook the task of making a flag for Sustainable Crediton. It was surprisingly complicated and time consuming but very interesting. The remit was to design a colourful flag representing our organisation. The final design has a blue background with the familiar Sustainable Crediton pink and white flower logo forming the centrepiece and also features a tree, a wind turbine and the sun.

The flags are hanging from the Christmas tree holders above the shops and businesses along the High Street. It will be really good fun spotting all the different designs and matching them to the organisations that produced them. Many thanks to the Arts Centre for getting this project started and to Charlotte and Bridget the artists in residence who were brilliant with their imaginative designs and practical help. The Arts Centre are hoping to build on the number of flags in subsequent years.
