Back to Books is staging a series of community drawing events that will become part of the national drawing initiative The Big Draw which takes place during the month of October every year. We have permission to explore and draw in the secret spaces inside the Cube, an iconic new building, which is fast becoming the hub of community life. The Cube houses the Council Chambers, Library and Theatre and offers spectacular views of Corby’s changing urban & rural landscapes. Participants will use a variety of different drawing mediums from pencil to thread and working on unusual or recycled supports in order to up-cycle old china or utilize discarded garments as well as drawing with / on more conventional materials. The project will culminate in an exhibition in November 2011. The project is being delivered in partnership with Corby Borough Council and has been supported by funds raised by back To Books and The Northamptonshire Community Foundation Constance Travis Trust.
In 1996 Back To Books was formed as a Reading Group and commissioned artist Carole Miles and author Kathy Page to create a series of stories and prints, which toured as The Sensuous Page. 2008 saw the reincarnation of Back to Books; today the members are drawn together by a passion for reading, writing and making. The group raises funds on a project by project basis and have new projects in the pipeline.
