Earl Shilton Library – Outdoor Sculpture Project
Welcome to our Outdoor Sculpture Project at Earl Shilton Library.
We are inviting the community to come together, in the lively library space, to develop suggestions for designs to decorate the sculpture, through culture and creativity,
The Earl Shilton Library Working Group have been working hard to choose a project that welcomes their local community. The team at the library have a particularly close relationship with the users of the library and are determined to find a project that would utilise the empty space outside the library, engage their current library users, but also attract a new audience.
We are thrilled to announce that the project will use the space outside the library to hold a sculpture which will reflect the library and its community. It will be decorated with a design that will be influenced and informed by the community, through a series of dynamic and interactive creative sessions, led by Community Participation Worker, Amarjeet.
The exciting, co-creative process will welcome everyone and anyone from the Earl Shilton community to come together to offer ideas in an artistic format which will inform the final design. Amazing artist, Llynda Baugh will use elements of the designs to embellish the sculpture in mosaic. We will have a community unveiling once the piece is finished and installed, inviting everyone who took part to come together to celebrate our incredible journey.
SIGN UP NOW! For our community creative sessions to share your ideas. All materials will be provided and you don’t have to have previous experience. It’s an opportunity to share stores of Earl Shilton, your community and your library.
