Inside Out Outside In - Birky Comminity Project

During August 2011, CapeUK ran a weekly creative family scheme at Birkby Community Centre, Huddersfield Art Gallery and Greenhead Park, which saw over 90 families take part, getting creative, trying something new, making fabulous art, meeting new people and having fun together. 


The theme of the scheme was ‘Inside Out Outside In’. Myself and 3 fellow local artists were selected by CapeUK  - Andy Fullalove, Chris Squire and Karen Stansfield.

The team…

For the last session we went out into nature, exploring and responding to Greenhead Park. Families worked together to produce a ‘peace garden’. I made Swans with families to float out across the lake area, painted images were hung from a huge tree and large white flowers were made on the grass carrying messages of peace and hope. It was a truly spectacular day of sunshine and smiles.
