Archives: Creation and Creativity

This blog features an article from the latest issue of our magazine, Mill Memories. You can view the rest of the issue here.
Archives are alive: they can grow, and they have the power to shape how we see and experience the world. Our team has explored how to support individuals and groups to create archives of their own, to contribute to a growing archive, and to draw creative inspiration from archives.

We have seen people wield pens, paper, metal, cameras, collages, and canes to produce sculptures, pictures and poems inspired by wind and watermills.

We have reached out to people young and old, expert and novice, and have collected donated art pieces from local people to establish our first ‘community art collection’. This newsletter shows some of the pieces that have been created. We hope that these inspire you. It’s never too late to get creative!
