Needle Felted Creatures
New Mills Project eARTh are busy alternating two projects at present to give variety! Participants have been busy making needle-felted creatures- with artist English Tilly (Carol Wilson) – mainly owls and badgers, with a penguin and chicken thrown in for good measure – as well as other workshops on creative writing for our 61 bus Route project, with writer Genevieve Carver. Photos below of needle-felting.
Sounds that Soothe
New Mills Project eARTh worked with artist Ian Pringle over 8 workshops, to create soundscapes of soothing sounds and poetry, designed to soothe your mind – available here to listen!
Silk Paintings
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!
Silk Painting
The New mills group have just started a Silk Painting project with artist Sara Blackburn – to make banner and flags for The One World Festival, and the Rock Mill Centre. They will be unveiled on June 8th – so look out for them this Summer!
