An intergenerational project - bringing communities together through the arts.
'Woolovers'
Ongoing Project
A fabulous, explorative, intergenerational project. Drawing from the heritage of our illustrious wool and textile industry in Huddersfield & the Holme and Colne Valley. Funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund.
We are working with a number of textile crafts and techniques.
Bringing to life a scene from the story of Gulliver's travels to visually represent our pinnacle figure, Sir John Ramsden (1699-1769) and the threads that bind him to our local area, its people and landscape.
While learning, teaching, and passing on different textile techniques. Exploring older techniques such as weaving and felting as well as far newer techniques like yarn bombing to collectively piece together our imaginative scene.
We are working with Bridgewood, Trust,Enfield Down,
Hepworth Junior & Infant School, South Crosland Junior School and Upperthong Junior & Infant School.

Come along and get involved!
WHO WE ARE
Our Aim
Our aim is to bring people together, to share their memories with each other and with the wider community. We use these shared memories as a basis for creating high quality art works. With the support of three artists, Sharing Memories group works with local schools and other community groups on a range of projects which serve to both celebrate and interpret our lives.
"Fun and rewarding - good to chat whilst helping to create the pictues. Looking forward to seeing the final result"
