Our Freedom - Launch Ilkeston Library Nov 2025

The model of the post war prefab was launched at Ilkeston Library on 25 Nov.

There was a good crowd of people who came along, some who had participated in the project as well as local councillors and librarians. 

It was a lovely day and everyone was pleased with the artwork. 

Luminate 2025

The Spiral Artists were part of Luminate '25, another lovely community event organised by Friends of Derby Arboretum. We had the trees lit up, a lantern procession around the Arboretum, a fire eater, a drumming circle, and hot refreshments served by St Thomas's church.

A lovely evening of communities together.

Our Freedom - Post War Prefab

We were delighted to work on the 'OUR FREEDOM' Project at Ilkeston Library during Sept and October 2025.

We worked with adults, families and at Flamsteed Day Care to create a fabulous post war prefab miniature model. There was plenty of research from the librarians, chatting to Ilkeston folk and looking at old photos. We are extremely pleased with the end result which is now on permanent display at Ilkeston Library.

If you are passing by please do go and have a look.
