  • Usually meets on first Tuesday of each month, 7 - 9pm.
  • Sessions can be a talk on a chosen topic, or a group investigation into a particular idea or technique.
  • Potential to collaborate on a project, eg for a community art installation, and maybe even working with other groups.

Todmorden Lamplighter (Nov 2016)

  • Working under commission from Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade, a project was developed in conjunction with Todmorden CE Primary School.
  • Year 5 pupils were asked to pair up & make pencil drawings of 'mythical fire creatures', following the festival's theme this year. Children then re-worked drawings by using a single 3m length of string, taped to black paper.
  • Drawings were then transcribed onto builders' polythene sheet, roughly 60 x 60cm, using a CD pen to avoid smearing.
  • Electroluminescent wire, of various colours, was obtained in 3m lengths, along with combined inverters/ sequencers and 4 x AA battery packs. This enabled 5 wire drawings to be powered from 1 battery pack and inverter. 3 batches of kit enabled 15 similar drawings to be created.
  • [kit details to be documented]. Sourced from: http://elwirecraft.co.uk/
  • Finished drawings were taped to the inside of window frames in the first floor of Central Methodist Church, next to the main carpark in Todmorden.
