Jubilee Well Dressing 2022

Goodness the Jubilee celebrations are lasting a long time. We held our annual Well Dressing event on Derby Arboretum on Sunday 26 June, with the theme of the Platinum Jubilee. 

Beautiful designs created by Spiral Artists, Jenny and Kate, a lovely blessing and welcome from Rev Simon Cartwright, violin playing and tea and cake, who could ask for more.

Glorious sunshine as well!!

Jubilee Crown Making

It was straight into making a giant jubilee crown and royal woven cloak with children from Rosehill Infants, St James Infants, students from Derby College and adult volunteers. We had a very busy 2 weeks. But it was great fun!!

                          

Jub-Olympic Bunting

Over the last couple of weeks we have had a great time working with the young people from the Cantelupe Youth Club in Ilkeston. We showed them how to make bunting which they can use for  their Diamond Jubilee or Olympic celebrations, or in fact any other parties or events they have.
First of all they painted some fabric, then cut it up and sewed it into strips of bunting. Using the sewing machines became a very sociable event with one person operating the foot pedal while the other person fed the fabric through the machine.
