Make Yourself At Home

The ‘Make Yourself At Home’project involved members of Holme Valley Sharing Memories, a local group for older people based in Holmfirth, working alongside adults with learning disabilities from The Bridgewood Trust, and adults recovering from mental health issues at Enfield down in Honley.

The final exhibition will be on show daily from 10am-3pm at The Packhorse Centre in Huddersfield from 24th January to 21st February and from the end of February onwards in the café at Holmfirth Tech.

All the participants worked with Sharing Memories artists Colette Cummings and Richard Loughridge to create a series of cardboard houses which represented what they felt about the theme of ‘home’.

Participants also recorded their memories of where they grew up and what makes home special to them. These recordings have been turned into a soundscape which will play alongside the exhibition.
