More pictures from our ‘Sitting in the Landscape’ project, a series of workshops taking place in the Summer and Autumn of 2026.

You can see participants at Derventio Housing Trust’s Growing Lives centre with recent experience of homelessness working with sculptor Ruth Lewis-Jones and photographer Jon Legge to create and document artifacts using natural and found materials in various outdoor locations around Ilkeston, in this case @Shipley Country Park

Foraging, crafting, conversing and creating, the project is intended to improve mental health, engage participants in the arts and to promote the work of Growing Lives and Derventio Housing Trust. It also promotes group working and allows participants to share skills and life experiences.

With thanks to the Arts Council England for their generous support.

National Recovery Month

National Recovery Month runs annually throughout the month of September.
