Participants worked with ceramicist Sue Blatherwick to make planters. In the final week, everyone filled them with compost and succulents to take home, to mark the end of our final project until more finds are secured.
Route 61 – poetry inspired by the bus route from Buxton to Glossop: Both groups worked with poet Genevieve carver on a creative writing project inspired by the 61 bus route to create a book which is a journey over hill and dale, through history, memory, landscape and laughter.
Buxton Project eARTh enjoyed a short two week project with artists Mandy and Charlie Collins from Milestone Studios– printing in week one; and using the prints and other collage material in week two to create some zines – with wonderful results.
Buxton Project eARTh have been busy with creating their ‘Cranky’ with artist Lois Blackburn – two long scrolls of High Peak landscapes with hills, birds, bats, animals, buildings , paths, roads, rivers .. even the Pavilion Gardens Park Run feature in the artwork which will be on display at The Green Man Gallery in Buxton from the end of November – you ‘crank’ the handles to move the scroll across an open screen.
Project eARTh’s silk painted flags were looking glorious at One World Festival New Mills!
And here are project eARTh’s silk painted banners in situ at Poole’s Cavern and Country Park. Time for a picnic? You could also see project eARTh’s wooden sculptures ‘Grinlow’s Legacy’ whilst there, made about 8 years ago!
See below for The Nature of Hope project information, but here are the beautiful results!
