Art Club: Jane Stewart
Climate Change Collage
Thursday 4th July
7pm - 9pm, Free.
Over the coming weeks Jane Stewart will be offering 'Climate Change Collage' workshops in various places locally, starting with 4th July at the Nose Art Club. 'Climate Change' along with such phrases like 'more plastic than fish by 2050', are heard so often that they lose their meaning. Jane wants to know what 'Climate Change' means to you. This work will feed into the Eco Youth project that is happening at the Harwich Arts Centre this summer for young people between 16 and 23. If you know anyone in the Harwich, Dovercourt or Walton area who might be interested, let her know!Read more'Promenade'

They are exhibited in a warm salon style setting for others to come together over the festive season. All the paintings are for sale and are priced affordably in the hope people can own an original piece of art.

Shane Waltener
9 November – 10 December, 2022
Walton Flax Exchange is a month-long exhibition with local artist Shane Waltener. Using flax, grown and harvested in Walton, the exhibition will display the processing of the crop from plant to linen, introducing the idea of soil-to-soil clothing - clothing made from fabric which is entirely compostable. Flax sculptures and objects will be interwoven with public activities and performances, inviting other practitioners and members of the public to skill exchange and share knowledge on the subject. The exhibition aims to generate an interest in the production of Walton fabric and create a local ‘fibershed’, a term coined by Rebecca Burgess in 2010, describing a network connecting growers, makers and consumers.Read more
