The Creation Station is launching their autumn programme of award-winning arts and crafts classes for pre-school children, and adult craft nights, in the Ashby, Hilton, Melbourne and Swadlincote areas.
For pre-schoolers, the hands-on, exploratory programmes are based on the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum EYFS. Each class is designed to support the individual child’s journey of discovery, through a wide range of different materials and tools, every week.
A summer creative writing competition for adults and children | Closing Date Midnight September 8th, 2021
Ghosts of the Landscape is a project which aims to raise awareness of the plight of Derbyshire’s moorlands. Instead of being an important haven for wildlife, carbon sequestration and flood prevention, as they once were, they have been drained, polluted, overgrazed and lost many of the wild species that should live there.
Art!
Here it is, the promised update on the artwork and installations taking place in the New Mills Festival 2021.
It's impossible to tell you about all the 150 or thereabouts artists who will feature around town between 10th and 26th September, and equally impossible to pick out highlights. There is a lot more information here, and I mean a lot!
