We are delighted to invite
you to the opening of the Stitching the
Wars exhibition, made in collaboration with older people living in Derbyshire and arts
organsation arthur+martha.
Award winning
project Stitching the Wars combines
history, poetry and embroidery from older people living in rural Derbyshire.
Artist Lois Blackburn from the arts organisation arthur+martha collaborated
with older people to make community quilts embroidered with reminiscence.
This special celebration
event will also share poems and interviews, and launch the accompanying book to
the project
The project has
been supported by Arts Council England, Foundation Derbyshire, Derbyshire
County Council, Derbyshire Dales Council, Age UK, The Alzheimer's Society and
The Farming Life Centre. We would like to thank the many, many people who have
participated and whose work has made this a very special project.
