New Mills Community Festival would like to acknowledge funding from the Arts Council Grants for the Arts Lottery fund for Junkstop!

Junkstop is a creative recycling community project.   Throughout the summer New Mills based designer, Jason Taylor  www.jasontaylor.co.uk  and local artists will run workshops in schools,  Springbank Arts Centre, New Mills Original and other venues to inspire people to transform waste materials into useful,  playful and, sometimes beautiful objects. 

Local artists will celebrate  New Mills’ unique environment (and its status as a Transition Town) by creating a series of  sculptures  and installations especially for New Mills Community Festival (15th-30th September).
