IN OUR HANDS

It is a large community story project devised and facilitated by Stewart with the support of Arts Council England and Staffordshire County Council's Heritage & Arts Service. Stewart has been working in close partnership with Jigsaw, The North Lichfield Initiative and The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum in the creation of this work. The participating groups providing memories, stories and objects include Rocklands Special School, Charnwood Primary School, Knit n Natter, Whits-End ADHD & ASD Support Group and Jigsaw staff and volunteers.

The 'In Our Hands' project is now being celebrated as an interactive exhibition at The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum. The exhibition runs from 2nd April - 2nd May 2011 and includes a vast range of stories and story objects that provide a memorable and engaging visitor experience. The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum and In Our Hands exhibition is free to visit and open daily 10.30 - 4.30pm.
