Trail Tales on the Sett Valley Trail
Project eARTh and Hayfield Primary School invite you to their celebratory launch of Trail Tales! These solar powered audio benches are on the Sett Valley Trail and in Bluebell Wood, Hayfield and at the press of a button you can hear a tapestry of music and spoken word on the theme of nature, changing seasons and memories. Members of Project eARTh and year 3 of Hayfield Primary worked with musician Phil Girling to create these soundscapes which are also available on CD and on our Youtube Channel.
High Peak Community Arts have worked in partnership with Derbyshire County Council Countryside Service and the project was supported by Derbyshire Intergenerational Strategy.
Dinting Station in Ceramics
An amazing time was had at the celebratory unveiling event on Wednesday 18th June. These large-scale ceramic pictures were created by Project eARTh for Dinting Railway Station, with artist Adrian Holt.
We met at Dinting Station, 11am to see the artwork, and then went on to Bradbury House for refreshments and photographic display of the project, from 11.45am.
Here are some pictures we’d like to share!
Buxton Project eARTh…’What’s in a Box?’
Buxton Project eARTh did a project from January – March 2013, called ‘What’s in a Box?’ with artist Katy McCall. After exploring with a wide range of media, each participant started with an empty box…and then created anything they wanted.
To inspire us, we visited the First Cut Exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery, where we also held our own workshop in one of the gallery’s studios. We finished with a wide variety of art work – from a Dragon’s nest to pop up universe..
And here is a film of the boxes:

From January through March 2013 the New Mills Project eARTh group have been creating their own blog.
Project eARTh Calendar 2013
Would you like to buy a 2013 calendar full of beautiful lino prints?
New Mills Project eARTh have just completed a lino print project with artist Jill Kerr to create a calendar. In just 6 sessions, the group learnt to design their artwork, to cut the design into lino, and print it onto different backgrounds. Some people have hand coloured the prints, others left them black and white. From the host of seasonal images created, we chose images for each month, and put together a collection of short literary quotes to accompany them. The calendar has been excellently put together by graphic designer Armelle Hatch, and a limited edition is now available to buy for just £5, plus £2 p and p. (Or you can come to High Lee Hall to collect one for just the £5. Phone first to check we are in).
Please make cheques payable to High Peak Community Arts.
