What if we could turn everyday moments into works of art? Spiral Artists Kate and Catherine showed us how at our last May session for Nature Spaces, where creativity and laughter blossomed into stunning paper flowers. Who wouldn't be inspired by the possibilities? 🌼🌺🌷

50:50 City-wide celebrations

We are very pleased to announce that our 'Wheels of Change' Exhibition has been installed at Cromford Mills and will be displayed until 9 June.
The project was created with the local community at three inspiring workshops as part of the Cromford . Participants came together to learn weaving techniques and construct wheels of fabric whilst chatting and enjoying the historic setting. The community felt part of the incredible heritage of Cromford.
We are delighted with the installation and we hope you get a chance to visit soon.

Spiral Artist Kate, guided the Nature Spaces group through a fascinating art project, where they brought to life beautiful butterflies using a unique combination of materials, including brown paper, vibrant acrylic paints, bold oil pastels, and delicate wire. The end result was truly breathtaking - the butterflies looked incredibly lifelike, with intricate details and colors that seemed to flutter off the page.
