Hayley & the Wirksworth Art Trail – This Weekend
Posted in 2010, A52s, Arts, Crafts, Events, People, Posts of Note on Thursday September 9, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Hayley Powell’s first piece of blacksmith art was creating the cuckoo for the field in Monsdale Lane, now better known as the Cuckoo Field. This piece of art was made when she was only 16, studying for her A Levels at QEGS. Hayley grew up in Parwich, she always loved walking around the countryside and could be seen regularly walking the family dog Axel: the Irish Wolfhound.
Not always happy with the conventional methods of learning, Hayley hunted out extra curriculum workshops and events including helping out at art workshops and then becoming heavily involved within an organisation that delivered courses on rural crafts to young people. These included dry stone walling, woodland management at Chatsworth, hedge laying and blacksmithing. Hayley was hooked.
Between studing for a Degree in Design Technology at Derby University she was able to gain work experience with blacksmith Charis Jones, who is still a massive inspiration to her. Once her degree was completed back in June, she decided to follow her heart and really make a difference to preserving the rural skill of blacksmithing.
Hayley, an Artist Blacksmith has called her new business Forever Forged . She is committed to creating hand forged creative, yet functional items, for your home and garden. Inspired by tradition, forged with passion.
Hayley can be seen at the Wirksworth Art Trail this weekend, 10am-5pm. Her venue will showcase a wide range of fun and artistic pieces, filling the courtyard and garden of the Old Tinsmith.
Tickets for the Trail are £5 and free to under 16’s. A fabulous opportunity to see more than 100 artists, including Lewis Noble, exhibiting their work in dozens of different venues throughout the town. There will also be a Makers Market, stalls with food and street entertainment, including the fabulous A52s.
A selection of some of Hayley’s work, more can be seen on her website.

It is a great chance to buy affordable art, meet the artists and just be nosy having a peek inside some of Derbyshire’s most intriguing interiors!
With plenty of foodstalls, cafes and pubs to relax in and a programme of street entertainment throughout town, Wirksworth offers a brilliant weekend out for the whole family only £5 a ticket (under-16s free).
Two ‘Parwichians’ will be exhibiting, Hayley Powell and Lewis Noble with The A52s providing some of the street entertainment.

Lewis, well known in the art world, lives in Parwich and has been working in Derbyshire since 1996. Over this time he has built a reputation as one of central England’s foremost artists. His focus lies in the physical and emotional impact of the landscape on the senses and how it the experience of being in landscape effects us as human beings.
The result is a body of work that speaks to the very heart of what it means to be part of the environment around us.

Parwich Panoramic Five raises £448.55
Posted in Events, Memorial hall, Sport on Saturday August 7, 2010| 1 Comment »
The increased entry this year (107 runners in the senior event and the junior events more than doubled) has had a positive effect on the money raised from the race evening from £ 313.00 in 2009 to £ 448.55 this year, which will go toward the Memorial Hall as it did last year. It is envisaged that this will go towards display boards, for use by Stepping Stones and other groups.
There are so many people to thank that it would be a difficult task to list them all, but special thanks go to all the marshals, the first aiders, the ladies on registration who kept working on the timesheets long after the race was over, all our roving photographers and Sandra who organized a raffle which raised £65.00.
We received a lot of positive feedback from the runners who commented on the quality of course marking, marshaling and slick registration. Thanks to all – we are already looking forward to next year.
