A series of 5 giant spheres for Bolsover Castle, supported by Arts Council ‘Grants for the Arts’ and Junction Arts.
Inspired by the large stone balls upon the top of the gates at the castle, the giant spheres are going to be created from mild steel frames that are to be woven with a decorative layer of willow. Once woven the spheres will be lit from within and line the path leading from the visitors centre to the castle gates.
The sculptures will light the path for the many people attending the Bolsover Lantern Parade this December and should make a spectacular sight especially if the ground is still covered in snow.
Each sphere is going to be woven within the community through a series of workshops based at the Level Arts Centre in Rowsley, Derbyshire.
