Stokes Croft Arts Furniture launched on Friday, with a good turnout. The show is open from Mon- Saturday 11 am-6pm. Almost all pieces come from furniture and material found on the streets in and around Stokes Croft.
Art Furniture to suit all pockets… From £40 to £4000
Following in the footsteps of E.W. Godwin, the forgotten Patron Saint of Stokes Croft, we launch Stokes Croft Art Furniture.
The Think Local Boycott Tesco Campaign had a presence at Glastonbury. One of the four pyramids in the Dance Villages was painted by Bristol’s Finest, carrying the message to the gathered hordes.

Battle of Stokes Croft – builder Simon Lewis mauled by police dogs
http://bristol.indymedia.org/article/705045
Dear all,
On Bristol Community FM’s Friday Drivetime
yesterday evening we heard from Montpelier
builder Simon Lewis who was attacked by three
police dogs and hospitalised on the second night
of the Easter ‘disturbances’.
Despite any concerns that may have been raised, the sale of approximately 1,000 Banksy Molotov posters took place on Saturday May 7th amongst much good humour, and without incident, as several organisations including PRSC, Coexist, Bookfair organisers and Banksy’s people worked together to ensure that all went off peacefully.
PRSC will have an Open Doors Day on Saturday 7th May, where tea, cake and the occasional biscuit will be on offer all day, free of charge, (Donations Welcome).
In a masterstroke of urban design, Bristol City Council has finally realised that what Stokes Croft, City Road and the Cheltenham Road need are more adverts.
It took me a long time to actually take a look at the Dove Street flats. Out of the corner of my eye I had seen them, three 1960s towers poking over the top of the buildings on the west side of Stokes Croft, or catching a glimpse of them down the long staricases and alleyways that run from Kingsdown down the side of Cotham Hill.
If you are free at 8:45 PM on Wednesday 16th February tune in to Four Thought on Radio 4 (though the programme will be available for a week or two on iPlayer too).
In his early architectural work, especially on churches, Godwin took a close interest in tiling, and his sketchbooks include many plans and designs for the floors of Northampton Town Hall and other buildings.
