Nature Spaces - July 2023

We were in full swing with these Nature Spaces sessions now and we had a fun time creating batik pictures, bondaweb bags, hula hoop bowls and beaded lampshades. What a busy July!

BlendED project

This project is almost coming to an end, we have worked with 2 youth groups in Heanor and Ripley for 9 months, creating artwork to sell at different markets for Christmas presents.
We held one stall at Heanor Market recently, it went very well and the artwork received a lot of attention.
Here are some images from the workshops and the selling event.

Creative Caring @ Flamsteed Centre

The Flamsteed Centre is a day centre for older people, some with dementia. We have been working with the group since January creating artwork to stimulate senses, help conversations and make lasting moments for the participants.
We created a range of artwork such as printed fabric bags, paper lanterns, batik cushions, bird sculptures, poem collage and block printing.

Sculpture Session @ the Orangery

We delivered 3 sessions over the summer to create artwork for the Lark in the Park festival, we had a lovely group of participants who came and worked on decorative tree lampshades and wire birds.
