The Queens Drawers Open Day Round 2!
The Queens Drawers Projects
Event Description
Exhibiting all the artwork, sculptures and artwork made by the community .
On Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 September, Adams Heritage Centre was celebrating creativity in honour of the Queens
Platinum Jubilee. The Centre was literally buzzing as locals came together to see the artworks made and sample the wonderful homemade cakes from Littleport’s W.I. All of which were free to visitors.
We exhibited the amazing works from sculpture through to textiles, silver jewellery, ceramics and fused glass. All of the artists involved in teaching were commissioned to produce a piece of work which were exhibited over the weekend and will stay on permanent exhibition for all to enjoy as part of the Centre’s new contemporary collection.
The artists who led on the workshops were Sukie Rix sculptor, Tabbi Frost sculptor, John Lyons poet and artist, Ian Stevens leathersmith, Jane Frost artist, Ricki Outis textile artist, Chris Powell silversmith, Tim Peacock sculptor, Felicity Hoyle ceramicist and Sarah Hunt glass artist.
Many thanks to all of them for their passion, enthusiasm and creativity and sharing of knowledge!
The Event
Adams Heritage Centre was able due to funding from The Arts Council Lets Create Fund and Awards for All National
Lottery Community Fund to provide these artist led workshops for free and which were open to anyone from our
community. Amazing!
Adams Heritage Centre would like to say a big THANK YOU to these funders for their support with both rounds of
The Queens Drawers which have been such a huge success in the village.
