Exploring our Past
This project is a collaboration
between The Art Ministry and local schools, funded by the Heritage Lottery
Fund, and directed by Reverend Angela Cotton.
The main output from the project has
been a book about local history in the Castle Point area. Local school children
have produced some of the book’s content and local artists have supplied some
of the illustrations.
In addition to the book, the project
has involved participative events with the local community.
This project has just completed, and
the book will be launched at a special event in early March. Copies of the book
will be presented to local schools and libraries.
Fabric Collage
The Art Ministry’s Fabric Group has
been producing a large fabric collage depicting the local area. The collage is
based on a painting by the local artist Ted Rodway. Ted also runs our Castle
Point Art Club sessions.
Once complete, the collage will be
presented to the Tyrells Centre in Benfleet, for hanging in the building.
Funding was received from the
Heritage Lottery Fund for this project.
