Come to an 'Arty
An exciting and unusual event in Barrowden in Rutland,
over the whole weekend.
I’m lucky to live in a house one of the best
views in Rutland, if not in all England. Sadly I don’t own
it, but I can enjoy it and share it. Hence this event. Here's the
view from the event location.
I’m an artist (what, you guessed from my caching
name?) and I’m arranging a weekend of arty caching. There
will cache-inspired art and art-inspired caches of all
kinds.
There will be micros hidden within
pictures (like this one where a micro is hidden under a stone) and
caches hidden around the garden and in the field that drops gently
down to the winding river.
There will also be some sculptures of life sized
cachers, made of sellotape. Yes really, they are made of sellotape.
I used some of my geocaching friends as models and some of them
might even be hiding a TB to discover...
I'll be providing refreshments, plus I'll be
putting on some arty activities for the kids (or adults for that
matter) to dabble with and make their own masterpieces. This will
be as free as I can make it, just to cover costs. You are invited
to bring a picnic and eat it in the garden or in the field down by
the river.
Everyone is welcome to this event and I'm looking
forward to welcoming friends, old, new and yet to
be.
If you are an artist and want to bring some art, or
have any arty ideas to incorporate into this event, please let me
know.
