It is such a joy to be able to work on so many different projects. Below are some snap shots of things I have created or managed either on a freelance or employed basis. I have been so lucky to be able to combine my love of art and heritage to create projects that engage all ages. Sharing heritage is very important to me as is creating and encouraging others to make beautiful artworks. Do you have an project that could do with a sprinkle of creativity and maybe even a splash of magic? Contact me: llynda@spiralprojects.co.uk and let us make your audience smile.

Whilst working for NWLDC as a Community Engagement Officer, during the pandemic, I engaged Pudding Bag Productions to work with me to create eight heritage films visiting local sites. The aim was to discover new things about familiar places. While people isolated, they could still find out about their local heritage. All part of Heritage on your Doorstep and the Hello Heritage Festival.

Graffiti and Gravestones at Aston on Trent

Sometimes its good to look closer at gravestones and porches and see what you might be walking by. I am fascinated by medieval markings in churches and designs on gravestones. I met with my good friend Alison Fearn who is something of an expert on both! Made as part of my role at NWLDC. at the parish church of St Mary the Virgin. Thanks to them for allowing us to use the grounds.

The Lime Kilns at Moira Furnace

It was good to catch up again with Steve Scotney to take a look at the lime kilns that once stored the lime used to make iron at this now disused blast furnace in Moira. Steve talked me through how they worked and what else the lime was used for. Made as part of my role at NWLDC for Hello Heritage.
