ETCHED IN TIME: Rebecca Gouldson
Dales Countryside Museum, Hawes From 9 June
Artist Metalsmith Rebecca Gouldson responds to the tinsmithing workshop and the collection of hand-knitting tools at the Dales countryside museum to create two separate installations. The tinsmithing workshop will feature acid-etched sculptural forms in metal, created using the shapes of actual tinsmithing templates found in the museum collection. The hand- knitting collection will comprise a washing line of metal sock stretchers embellished with images and text relating to the stories of hand -knitters of the Dales, acid- etched into the surface.
Rebecca will be at the museum on Sat 16 June showing some of her techniques and will also be running a mono-printing workshop.

Artist Linda Schwab uses hundreds of vintage chandelier drops to create a dramatic installation with a spa theme for the circular 1842 Room.
MAGIC IS IN THE GARDEN: Sara Tunstall
Helmsley Walled Garden, Cleveland Way, Helmsley From 9 June onwards
Animation Artist and Illustrator Sara Tunstall is creating a motion graphics sequence and a series of framed illustrations, combining reportage illustration with the textures and colours of Helmsley Walled Garden. The garden is a magical place, an idea echoed by the people who work there and by elements of the garden itself. Sarah's work reflects this theme, exploring the heritage of the garden and the wide variety of plants and ‘beasts’ that inhabit it.

IMPRESSIONS OF HACKFALL, TALES FROM THE WOOD: Hester Cox
Hackfall Wood, Grewelthorpe From 9 Jun onwards
A series of geo art caches that take the seeker on a journey through
Hackfall Wood with each cache illustrating a story of one of the many
creatures that live there and leaving the visitor with a book of
impressions from their day. Printmaker Hester Cox has created a series of hidden caches that form a
trail around Hackfall Wood. Each hidden container holds a rubber stamp
featuring original designs of local wildlife. Combining an outdoor
treasure hunt with digital media and book art, by the end of the
seeker’s walk they will have created their own printed book and have an
insight into the rich natural history of Hackfall.For more information, visit www.geoartcache.com
