COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS
In the spring and summer of 2023, a group of artists worked with local community groups and care home residents to help them explore their stories of Willington and the surrounding villages.
Pathways through Time Animation Workshops
As part of our Hidden Heritage & Wellbeing project in Willington, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we hosted a series of animation workshops with professional Artist, Sherly Jenkins. Participants were encouraged and supported to think about their place and its heritage, and the effect of both on their wellbeing, using story-telling through animation to express their thoughts and ideas.
Pathways through Time Printing Workshops
Professional artist Sara Cox led printing workshops encouraging participants to think about the journeys they take in the place where they live then recreate these journeys onto a canvas bag through printing techniques. The results were fantastic. There were some great conversations in the sessions about the local history and heritage of their place, discovering lots of new facts about where they live in the process.
