Dens Project at the Winter Gardens June/ July
2009
This project was something completely new for Art in the Park! Working in partnership with Sheffield Children's Festival, and on a size and timescale that we had never done before, it was a really exciting time for us.
Textile artist Ruthie Ford, supported by visual artist Annie Beech, worked with Special schools from across the city to create an enormous den that proved to be a feast for the eyes and the senses. Recycled junk saw a new lease of life, coming back as light mobiles, plant pots, musical instruments and even the very structure of the den itself! Pupils were able to try their hand at weaving with willow and other materials as the den took shape over two weeks. Over 500 children were involved in making the den or had a chance to play in it, which we think is absolutely fantastic!
Many thanks to all the schools, teachers and pupils who helped us out on our biggest project ever, and of course a big thank you to the Festival and our volunteers and artists!
