Written In Stone Project
In 2022, we were thrilled to deliver ‘Written in Stone’ project which was part of Extraordinary Bodies’ ‘Delicate’ Community Connectors Project. Following a trip to the Lowry to see ‘Delicate’, 19 participants aged 16 – 81 years old, explored what delicate means to each of us through poetry and land art sessions, led by artist Winston Plowes.
The group, who have a range of health conditions, took part in six multi sensory sessions. We saw patterns in nature, touched them, smelt them!
“We explored what delicate means to each of us and how strength can be delicate. People thought there was great honesty and that vulnerability is a strength not a weakness” Martine Bradford Creative Director

Written in Stone Sessions
- Land art and poetry inspired by nature
Art in nature!
“Made me look at the natural world through new eyes and the sessions were fun. Made me feel good”
“Exhilarating being out in the rain picking up leaves and sticks, smelling them, touching them, noticing things, being observant, laughing in the torrential rain”
“Loved having a dedicated period of my day just for me and nature”
