Project eARTh Song
We finally recorded the Project eARTh song that the group composed with musician Claire Mooney 18 months ago! It is all about Project eARTh, the friendships we make and art we create…
We are making a Youtube film to go with the song, but meanwhile, have a listen. We hope you like it.

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.
Film Cuts Club latest
Through thick and thin, our Saturday club is still here offering a welcoming and inclusive environment for anyone with a passion for films. The group starts from age 8, and has a fantastic mix of abilities and a few older young volunteers.
Click to see round the Vineyard venue before you come!
The club aims to teach the full process of film making to all participants, and in the past we’ve made documentaries, dramas, comedy spoofs, animations and news shows.
Click here to find out what we did during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021.
Everyone takes a turn at the different roles including writing and planning, directing, camera work, acting and then editing and post-production. With an overview of how these roles work, people then specialise in an area that suits them most and they form teams where each person’s strengths support the others in the group.
More experienced and older members are encouraged to become more independent and to support new starters.
“It’s been amazing – working with everyone, working with all the people who make it work – get our heads together, make a good film and we’re just enjoying ourselves basically – I love it”
Anyone interested in joining the group should get in touch with Sophie on 01663 744516 or sophie@highpeakarts.org
