Are you a maker?
That could mean anything at all – from something you create as a hobby, to something you make professionally. If you make something, we want to celebrate you.
As part of Derbyshire Makes, Creative Media learners at Burton and South Derbyshire College are creating a large-scale digital artwork celebrating makers from across our local area – and we’d love you to be involved.
What we need from you:
📸 One photograph of yourself
✍️ A couple of words telling us what you make
What happens next:
✨ Your digital portrait will be created by our Creative Media learners
🖼️ It will contribute to a large-scale artwork for Derbyshire Makes
📍 Your portrait will also be available to collect as a small print on The Delph on 25th April, as part of the festival
This project is all about celebrating makers of any kind, from all backgrounds and at all stages.
