DERWENT VALLEY MILLS CREATIVE ACTIVITIES

We created activities for the art boxes that Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site gave out to groups and families in Derbyshire. We were very pleased to be part of this project. The feedback is great too, so lovely to see people enjoying our creative ideas.

Fact & Fabrication - The exhibition launch

We had an amazing turnout at our Fact & Fabrication Exhibition in the Orangery in October. The researchers spoke about the stories they had uncovered and Sarah our musician, played the Shuttle to Clog composition.
It was a great start to our exhibition tour.

Meeting in the Book Cafe to start the project

Fact and Fabrication is a Heritage Lottery Funded project, researching the communities along the Derwent Valley and using the information to create a textile installation for an exhibition in the mills and local venues.

We spent a few months researching the project since March and now we are working on the textile installation and information banners that will accompany the exhibition.
