PUBLIC ART PROJECT   1

'Tiles of the Riverbank'  
Sally Stanton will be leading this exciting project. Painting sessions will be advertised soon. Just come along and paint a tile!

A painting by local artist Val Spilsbury is being blown up and divided into15cm
squares. These squares are to be painted onto 15cm wooden tiles.
165 tiles will make up the full picture and 65 tiles for a border, a
total of 221 tiles to be painted. So please come and help. Some tiles
will be very simple so you don't have to be an experienced painter to have a go. Those with artistic skills are very welcome too as there will be some
more challenging tiles to paint. There are also tiles suitable for children, whom we welcome. All children they will need to be accompanied by an adult.
We hope that the finished work will replace the worn out Style Street
painting on The William IV public house.

Details of sessions coming soon..........

PUBLIC ART PROJECT   2

Willow Lanterns

During an early planning meeting Joanna and Paula were musing on potential public art projects. Joanna remembered seeing beautiful Lanterns on holiday and after a little research they realised that this was too good an idea to ignore. Paula went along to the MoonRakers Festival in February and just knew Lanterns were for us! 

Details of lantern making sessions coming soon.......
