A busy week working at QUAD to create 6 well dressings for the trail around the Cathedral Quarter. We worked with 4 schools, participatory groups and held drop-in sessions.
The launch was in Derby Cathedral led by Revd Dr Elizabeth Thomson and Mayor of Derby Cllr Mike Carr, with singing from Derby Cathedral Junior Choir.
The well dressings were exhibited at QUAD, Deda, Local Studies Library, Derby Cathedral, Derby Sales and Information Centre and Furthest From the Sea.
What a sunny day at the Great Get Together event run by the Friends of Normanton Park. We were creating Nature Notebooks using recycled papers. A busy event with great performances from spoken word poets and dancing from Folk Dance Remixed.
We celebrated the end of our Creative Caring project with a showcase of all the artwork created over 6 months.
We were honoured to have MP Maggie Troup, Deputy Mayor Sue Beardsley and Councillor Mary Hopkinson attending the event as well as Catriona Paterson from Erewash CVS who funded the project.
We enjoyed working with Flamsteed and say a special thank you to Lisa and all the volunteers at the centre.
We created some great designs using a salad spinner and paint with the Madeley Youth Group. The young people enjoyed spinning as fast as they could go.
We held a Pajaki workshop during Inspiring Derby Week in June with a group of adults at Grove Lodge in Derby Arboretum.
Wow, what a great time we had at RHS Chatsworth creating 2 well dressings over 5 days. Lots of great conversations and lots of people from far and wide.
