Visibly Mending the View

We have now begun our new pilot project 

The View From Here 

and will be meeting mid-morning on 

Fridays for 6 more weeks.

For our first exploration artist Carole Miles

invited the group to take part in the Visible Mending

touring exhibition by Art on the High Street.

We chose postcards and altered or mended them

thinking and sharing our views and experiences

as we stitched, darned and embellished our postcards.

Poet Lucy Anderson (finally united with her Art on the High Street Flouro Rattus who arrived named Lucy her creators by Carol Parker & Amy Lee)  invited each person to show their mended card and to share the story behind the stitches.

By a process of reduction we were 

led to a starting point for a poem

which we will be continuing to work 

with on Friday 6th June 11 - 1pm. 

Please do join us if

you are in the area.

You can see all of the postcards we mended here , they will be joining the existing cards when the Visible Mending Exhibition comes to the Green Patch on June 14th

You can more about Art On The High Street's Visible Mending here 

and you can see Carole's first card, which is already on tour here

You can let us know if you'll be joining us here
