Nature Spaces Jan-Mar 2025

We are very pleased to have secured funding to continue the Nature Spaces Sessions for a few more months from the Randal Charitable Trust. 

We have created a variety of artworks over the last 3 months, here are some of the images from our sessions. 

School Heritage Project @ Derby Arboretum Park

We were part of a School's Heritage Project - Past Present Future, working with 150 children from Arboretum Primary School. We created a large cardboard tree and made animals that we see in the park using recycled materials. The tree was taken to the school to be displayed. 

International Women's Day March 2025

We led a wonderful procession through Derby City Centre with the Butterfly Banner we had created over the last 2 months. The women also carried placards that we had created a few years ago. It was a well attended event for the city and for women. 

Saturday Art Club - Museum of Making

Jenny worked with young adults to create their own paper at the Museum of Making in March. 

We used eggboxes torn into pieces and blended them to form a pulp, the eggboxes were all different colours, they added wools and threads and seeds.

Butterfly Banner for International Women's Day Project

We delivered a 2 month project to work with women and girls on a large banner for INternational Women's Day Event in Derby. We worked with Derby College students, young women with learning disabilities, women at drop in sessions at Derby Women's Centre and women at a wellbeing group. 

The women were asked for their experiences of women's health in Derby and they all completed a questionnaire which will be used to improve health services in Derby.

The project was funded by the NHS Women's Health Hub Grant.
