Scarecrow Day 21/5/11

Wow ... what a turn out at Oving Scarecrow Day on Saturday 21st May. Lots of people turn out to see the vast variety of scarecrows:








This spaceman was a firm favourite with the public and was made by the children of Class 5 in March C of E Primary School

 Then there were some fun themed 'scarecrows' that got plenty of attention too

To the more traditional that were more challenging to find!



Once again, the Woodhorn Tractor and Trailer Rides proved highly sort after and the queues were vast. Although we extended the time frame in which we carried out the rides, unfortunately people were still disappointed.

Plant a seed with Woodhorn's Earth Cycle was successful also, and next year we want to make it slightly different from plant a sunflower seed - ideas welcomed!

The date has already been set for next year, 19th May 2012! We are looking forward to be there again!

Recycling wood in more ways than one!

Our first post on the Woodhorn Blog!

We recycle green waste and wood waste here at The Woodhorn Group and we also like to take part in our local community where we can.

Art student Katie Martin contacted Audra to ask if she could have some wood for her art sculpture, and just look at the fantastic results:

Katie writes the following to accompany the piece:

'My work is an examination of travel and shelter in one's life. The domestic staircase is used as a symbol of travel whilst also acting as a metaphor for life's journey. Exploring both the small and grand scale of travel associated with the staircase, the sculptural installation pieces look at the repetitive day to day function of the staircase and the wider suggestion of travel from the beginning to the end of life. The presence of the bed is used to symbolise the importance of the home and the desire for shelter and protection in one's life. Whilst addressing the main themes of shelter and journey, memory and voyeurism are also key themes in my work.'


We think the piece looks great and the wood looks lovely in this form!
