Buzzing Skipton

'Buzzing Skipton' was a project run by The Artery with a grant from the mayors fund. It centred around the replacement of planters around Skipton and filling them with native plants. Workshops were run for people to help with the planting as well as poetry and photography workshops linked to them.

​

My part was to produce a public sculpture for the town, produced in collaboration with workshop participants.

​

I ran four workshop sessions, two with members of the public, one with Stepping Stones and one with SELFA. In these sessions participants decorated wooden butterflies. These were then cast into bronze and assembled into a kaleidoscope of butterflies above the railings outside Craven Arts House in Skipton.
