This workshop is being held at Rookhope Village Hall\, Rookhope on Saturday 22 June\, 1pm to 3pm\, and is suitable for adults. \nLast year\, artist Carole McCourt stumbled upon a fascinating photograph of a group of smelters at Rookhope Smelt Mill\, each donning a knitted shawl. This image sparked an idea: to celebrate this unique heritage skill and the rich history of lead smelters through a community project. Her vision is now coming to life as part of the North Pennines National Landscape’s Land of Lead and Silver project. \nThe workshop involves recreating a knitted shawl inspired by those in the historic photograph. Carole has developed a pattern that pays homage to the original shawls while allowing for creative expression. We are inviting local knitting groups and individual knitters to join us. \nWe will provide you with a pattern based on the historic shawls and some yarn to get you started. The pattern is designed to be simple enough for complete beginners\, but it also offers opportunities for experienced knitters to showcase their skills with techniques like Fair Isle and cabling. \nThis workshop is part of the 2024 Land of Lead and Silver community arts programme.

The traditional vintage cyanotype process is the oldest form of photography dating back to 1842. Cyanotype printing was used for botanical printing by early photographer and botanical artist\, Anna Atkins\, and Elaine uses botanical species for prints\, particularly ferns which are abundant in this area. \nThe original digital art pieces on show\, depicting Teesdale scenes\, are images transformed into ‘artlike’ pieces using modern digital tools. \nElaine works as a freelance photographer\, delivering occasional workshops in digital photography for beginners; photography walks and also cyanotype workshops. In bringing together the vintage and the modern\, Elaine is bringing photography full circle from its very origins to its most modern contemporary form. \nThe title With or Without (a camera) comes from Elaine’s love of photography and\, equally\, a cup of tea\, so it is a play on the quintessentially British question\, ‘how do you like your tea\, with or without? \nOpen during visitor centre opening hours (daily 10am to 5pm). Not wheelchair accessible.
