Spring Wreaths - SEWA Group - Derby City Dementia Group

We worked with the SEWA group for the Derby City Dementia  in March. We created spring wreaths using coloured cardboard boxes wire and posca pens. We had a nice afternoon making some lovely artwork for the group to take home. 

SEWA Group - bird cage display

The SEWA group is run by Making Space Dementia in Derby. We worked with the group in October to make a bird cage display for our Luminate Lantern event in November. The display looked gorgeous all lit up. 

Artis-Tree - Textile Trees

Over the last few months we have been busy working on our Artis-Tree project working with 4 different groups to create 4 fabulous textile trees. They will be exhibited in the Orangery in Derby Arboretum in January. The groups who created the artwork were the Young Carers, SEWA Dementia, Upbeat Communities and young people from Derby College.

We used textile techniques such as Japanese Shibori Tie-dye, wrapping branches and block printing leaves.

The project was funded by Living Well Derby City.

Here are some of the images taken in the workshop sessions.
