Nurture Nature

This project was led by artist Amanda Whewell. It was collage and printing based, inspired by the work of British artist Mark Hearld. 

The 30 beautiful completed framed collages are now in their new home, on the walls of St. Anne’s Parish Hall, and really brighten up the room.

The Felted Fall of Leaves

Participants worked with artist Carol Wilson to make individual felted squares on an Autumn theme – to include wet felting and then embellishing the work with embroidery. To start the project, everyone made a small square inspired by the traditional felting of Kyrgystan.

Relief metal work sculpture for Brookfield Pond. We are busy working with artist Adele Kime to create artwork for the railing on Brookfield Pond on Reservoir Road, Whaley Bridge. We will be working in aluminium and copper and are learning the different techniques we can use.

A perfect show!

We had a fantastic show. Aunty’s Antidote went down a storm in Buxton, with 25 young people involved on the night – on stage, in the band or working backstage. A huge thank you and well done! to them and the other 35 young people who contributed to everything that went into the show.

Here are a selection of our favourite pics from the performance!
