Like It.Lump It. We Are All Connected. Was an Arts Council England Funded project led by socially engaged artist Beth Barlow. Beth crocheted the news and explored the idea that both individuals and the stories they take in are connected. The work was exhibited throughout England, growing in stature and complexity at each stage of its journey. The work is accompanied by a film created by WTAC film maker Jason Shepherd.

Pick and Mix Was awarded funds by The Ernest Cook Fund. Pupils from Rudheath Academy worked with sculptor Angela Sidwell and socially engaged artist Beth Barlow to explore the natural winter environment through drawing and casting. They created new habitats/art pieces in clay and yarn.
Art Seed ran in 2015/16 in Rudheath and Witton, Northwich. The project grew interest in culture in the area and provided artistic opportunities to its residents through 2 hour taster sessions with professional artists. Anything from flower arranging to photography. We also ran funding and marketing sessions for artists to help grow our local creative economy. The project then received a small grant from Cheshire Community Foundation to provide 5 workshops in wider Northwich.
More about the project can be found at http://rudheathandwitton.org.uk and on the project facebook page RAWartseed. If you are a Northwich resident or organisation you can get updates via e mail. E mail Beth bethbarlow@bethbarlow.com and ask to be added to our Art Seed mailing list.
Northwich Bugs works with children from Barnton Community Primary school to create safe environments for wildlife. Recent projects have included a Bug Hotel for Verdin Park in the centre of Northwich. The children worked with artist Beth Barlow to create drawings which were etched onto the structure. They also worked on plans to fill the hotel for maximum bug enjoyment. http://northwichbughotel.blogspot.com/
