On the 29th and 30th November 11-4pm there’ll be a pop-up exhibition to display the work created in our PeatZine workshops held over the last few months. There’ll be:

✨original work from our artist-facilitator team @sheilatilmouth@hey_nature__@kingfisher_flowers@jokennedysound

‍✍️ new work from landscape writer Paul Knights, Landscape Story, based on our heritage story gathering sessions

🐉 bog beings created by Mytholmroyd Cubs

✏️ creative writing inspired by walks around Withens Clough, and a new Calderdale Peat Glossary to describe our moorlands

🍀 visual art created by Calderdale College students in response to the sphagnum moss planting and rewetting work at Ogden Water Nature Reserve

📖 a free zine making workshop with @loucomics. This will be going on over the whole weekend on a drop-in basis.

We are delighted to announce that this wonderful weekend will be held at the The Local Motive, the beautiful old railway station building in Mytholmroyd. After decades of closure, it will be open, renovated and ready for the community to enjoy.

PeatZine takes a section of the Calderdale Way and tells its stories through visual art, sound, creative writing, illustration and heritage writing. This edition focuses on Cragg Vale to Todmorden, starting from Mytholmroyd, and will be published later this year.
