Heritage Photography Walk map and guide
Get your camera or phone out and take a photo walk round Shelton to discover hidden heritage treasures. Download and follow the map and guide that photographer Jenny Harper has made for us. Share your photos with us on social media or by email.
Stitch Around Time Heritage Textiles Craft Guide
Express your own heritage using fabric, thread and simple sewing.
Cultural Sisters worked with us to share their sewing skills with a group of people in Shelton. They created a simple guide they gave to people along with a kit of materials. You can put your own kit together and use the guide to create your own circle of lovely textile art.
You will need:
- A sewing ring (aka an embroidery hoop)
- Embroidery threads
- Needles and pins
- A variety of fabric squares and some decorative trim
- Scissors
- A snippet of some personal fabric, beads and threads if you like
Friends of St Mark’s
You are invited to join the Friends of St Mark’s. The Friends are all people with a connection to St Mark’s Church, themselves or through their family.
The Friends work closely with All the Small Things to plan and run community activities.
