August 31st Upperthorpe Peace Gardens
This was the first Art in the Park event, organised by a few volunteers from the Garden Rooms. We set up our gazebo in the small green area behind the Upperthorpe swimming baths, now the Upperthorpe Healthy Living Centre. This is a space that I usually use as a cut through, to get from the bottom of Blake Street to Daniel Hill. There is the path, a raised bed, a small paved area and grass sloping to trees at the bottom. On the paved area there are several small stools and the remains of a mosiac. There is a gate onto the grassy area with metal work design, of a butterfly, i think and the name of the space, Upperthorpe Peace Gardens. The name always makes me smile because when you think of the Peace Gardens in Sheffield people think of the fountains in the city centre, a much grander place. In contrast the Upperthorpe Peace Gardens is a small, more like a garden, quieter and for me, more peaceful.
We saw children playing on the roof of a house and called them down, some others walking past joined us and they painted on easels and chatted. They played in the gazebo, dressing up in costumes and pretending to be on tv. Someone had an idea to make a spooky trail so we painted pictures of ghosts and scary things and hung them in the trees at the bottom of the gardens. The children led us through the trees and we filmed the adventure with a video camera, watching the film again afterwards and feeling delighted by what we had created.
