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. 

Fact & Fabrication - Summer Sessions

We delivered a number of sessions over the summer with adult groups to create the installation for our HLF project Fact & Fabrication.
We worked at Belper, Cromford and Derby, delivering a range of textile workshops, indigo dyeing, block printing, shibori, embroidery, & sewing.
