Our Arts Desire project in Ilkeston has been going wonderfully well with the lovely folk at Flamsteed Day Centre. Paper mache is the artform and we have made bowls, little trinket boxes, fishes and egg box animals.
We had a busy time with Lightzone holiday club between Christmas and New Year. Cardboard faces, clay faces and spinning art.
We worked with Peartree Holiday Club children creating lanterns. We did have a good time.
During December 2023 we continue delivering the Nature Spaces project to promote green wellbeing.
We ran workshops to create, willow stars, winter wreaths, festive crackers and foil decorations.
everyone enjoyed it a great deal and we will continue these sessions in March 2023.
Contact Spiral Arts if you would like to join the sessions.
Here are some images of our December artwork.
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.
