The next set of workshops...

There is one group left to work with on Connecting Killhope and that's Alston Moor Film over in Cumbria.

 Although we haven't actually done any workshops with them yet we wanted to represent them in the yurt so we had a film that the group had made showing......

and some Praxinoscope images as these will be the focus of this last set of workshops. 

So, although it is Goodbye (for now) to Stanhope Youth Group and High Forest Arts (Sinderhope) watch this space for more news about Connecting Killhope over in Cumbria.

Party Time in the Yurt Village!

Time to celebrate and reflect on the Connecting Killhope workshops undertaken so far.................

During a classic Killhope summer's day (drizzle and midges) 18 intrepid visitors made it up to the yurt village to see what has been created during the project.

Participants from both the Sinderhope "Life in the Landscape" and the Stanhope "Being Underground" workshops came along, plus a handful of curious museum visitors. We were very happy to see everyone and to share the fruits of the workshops.

There was quite a lot of stuff packed into Lapwing yurt. Still Life drawings from Sinderhope, alongside portraits from Stanhope

A slide show of all the project activities to date.

In fact it was pretty jam packed with art but there was always room for people to sit chat and munch on their lunch....

Or do a bit of networking.....

Come and Celebrate with Us!

It's party time! We are going to put up a display of the work that has been done with our first two groups. Plus there will be a film screening from Alston Film Club, the next group we are going to work with. 

Please come along and have a look. If you want to make a day of it and look round the museum normal admission charges will apply but.... kids go free in June!

We will be up in the yurt village from 11:30 am til 2:30pm, just ask at reception or follow the balloons to find us.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 20th June.
