This year we worked with Kirk Hallam Academy and Redhill Primary in Ockbrook, to create the WTF Well Dressings, this was on the theme of the Baton of Hope tour which takes place in September around Derby.
It was a very hot week and the well dressings were difficult to keep damp but we got there in the end and they made a great display at the West Hallam Village Fair in July.
Kindly funded by Erewash Small Grants Scheme and Joanna from Why Talking Fixes.
We delivered a lovely project called Creative Cafe at Loudon Lodge Apr-June 2025.
We looked at 6 different artists and each week we created work reflecting that artists style or focus.
We studied Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keefe, Van Gogh, Matisse, Monet & Yayoi Kusama. What a great time we had learning about these artists and the work was great too!
