Nature Project -Harrington Nursey & Rosehill Infants

We worked with 2 schools in May and June on a Nature Project. We worked with Harrington Nursery on some giant insect suncatchers and with Rosehill Infants on small insect suncatchers. The work was displayed in the Orangery in the Derby Arboretum for the Community Fair on the park in June. 

What a wonderful display!

Lawns Primary School - Environment Project

We were asked to work at Lawns Primary School in June on a Sustainability Project with Year 6 and Year 3 students.

We decided to reuse different plastics to create a window hanging and to highlight how we can help the planet, how we can look after nature, people and animals and what actions we could take to help make it a better world to live in.
The students came up with great ideas about saving water, recycling, reusing, stopping pollution and cycling to school. We used old plastic bags, party banners, net bags for fruit and bubblewrap to create our wonderful window hanging. These were ironed together and looked fabulous hung up.
We are sure they will look great around the school.
Spiral Artists Jenny, Cathy and Laura enjoyed working on this super project. Thank You!

Young Carers session - Loudon Lodge May 2025

We made purses with denim offcuts, gaffer tape and bondawebbed fabric. They were fun to do, especially being in Loudon Lodge looking out at the community garden in the Arboretum in the sunshine. 😎

Create Space - Long Eaton Self Help Group

We worked with the Long Eaton Self Help Group creating lots of lovely artwork over 4 months. 

The group always look forward to us coming and bringing some exciting creative activities.

We do like working with them.

The project was funded by Erewash Small Grant Scheme.

Family Art Club - Easter Holidays

We delivered 4 days of art activities in Grove Lodge over the Easter Holidays. We had received funding from the Derby City Council Cohesion Grant to work with the community.

We created art from cardboard tubes and paper mache artworks too. It was a fun time!
