Mosaics

On Monday in Buxton Project eARTh, participants started to stick their mosaics pieces to the cement board being used for the final artwork. Artist MakeMosaic by Tracey Cartledge showed each person how to apply the adhesive to the cement board, and then add their fruit and vegetables! So far we have an aubergine, courgette, parsnips, carrots, a cauliflower and some strawberries on the boards! Next week to add flowers, more strawberries, apples, and pears !
The group are making two mosaics for Townend Community Garden in Chapel – en – le Frith.
As only a few people at a time can work on this part of the process, other participants worked on their mosaic pieces to take home, and on creating some fruit, flower and vegetable collages.

Book Sculptures

Participants worked with artist Kate Freeborough to make a wonderful set of book sculptures, now on display in the windows of Sett Valley Insurance in New Mills. [Read more…]

Light Within

We are about to start a photography project with Josh Tomalin. Using 35mm film, participants will photograph dancer, Courteney Cruse, and with the photos, create a ‘light sculpture’, lit from within. This will be shown, along with a short 5 minute dance at an event at Spring Bank Arts on Sunday 11th September, as part of New Mills Festival. Free admission.

Cyanotypes 

We have just finished a project with artist Lucie Maycock creating cyanotypes and collages. It was  a lovely artform to learn about and experiment with – and the resulting work is beautiful. We hope it will go to Arden House GP surgery in New Mills.
