Sharing Space Opening Exhibition

Sharing Space in the old Burton Shop

We had a busy month in Ilkeston creating in the old Burton Shop on Bath Street.
We met an interested group of visitors, passers-by and invited groups from the local area.

Here are some of the moments from the workshops.

Palace Post 1

The ice birds are flying into the Winter Palace gardens, they are making their nests in the snow covered topiary trees.......

Last Saturday we ran a drop in creative workshop where anyone was welcome to join us in making birds and weaving nests. Despite the sudden snowy weather a group of people came, friends met old friends, and made new friends, making and chatting and drinking tea.......... it was what we hoped for, a very pleasant social event!!! 

Opening times below, we would be pleased to see you, bring a friend!
