Exhibition: FLOCK

Date of Event

Time of Event

FLOCK is a community arts project run by Eden Arts. It aims to engage schools and organisations in a craft activity and at the same time raise awareness of sheep's wool and its uses.

From 10-19 April FLOCK will be on display at Rheged. An installation of all the pom-pom sheep made so far as part of the FLOCK project, the exhibition will feature thousands of sheep of different colours and styles.

Alongside the installation of over 4000 sheep created by participants from across Cumbria, the UK and beyond, the will also be screenings of HEFTED, a new film produced by Dreamtime Films. The film is a companion piece to the flock project, telling the story of how people (as well as sheep) feel a sense of belonging to their landscape.

You can combine you visit to FLOCK with a visit to the Rheged Woollen Craft Fair on April 15 and WOW: wonder of wool and the art of knit and stitch which runs until April 15.
