Anyone fancy a bit of willow weaving / treehouse construction at Anglesey Abbey?

E-mail newsletter sent by Naomi Jones, Monday 10th May 2010 @ 3:02pm

A bit of a long shot, but please see info below from Invisible Structures, and email me for more info if you're interested.

If you've got free time from 20th - 28th May, then I'm very jealous... :-)

________________________________________

We, Invisible Sturctures, are an arts organisation who have been commissioned to build a treehouse structure in Anglesey Abbey from 10th - 28th May. This project is being organised for the benefit of the community and as such is not profit-making. An important aspect of the design of our structures is that they are in direct response to the surrounding area with an  emphasis on traditional craft and given that Cambridge has a great tradition of thatching, we would love to discuss the possibility of your involvement in the roofing and willow work of the treehouse as a community activity (be assured that all works risk will be kept to a minimum - roofing panels will be created on the ground and the willow work will take place once all ballustrading is in place). I had a look at some of the great work that SIFE do, and think it would be a great collaboration.

The most recent project we organised was The TreeHouse Gallery in Regents Park. The build of the two structures was carried out as a community build throughout.


We are commencing the build on the 10th May and would be looking for community groups to get involved from around the 20th and running over the half term week. If you think it would be something of a possibility for you then please do get in touch.
