Hi folks
A change to our normal Wednesday afternoon drop in.
Tomorrow we will be open in the afternoon from 2 pm to 4 pm only (NOT 1pm till 5pm)
Open as usual 7pm to 9pm in the evening for Fabric fanatics and drop in.
We’re really getting excited at ArtSpace as our La Lune: The Moon Rising Community Star nears completion. It will be by far the biggest star to come out of the “Star Factory” that has taken over ArtSpace in recent months.
The Macclesfield creatives have nearly finished creating the points, techy stuff is taking place and we’re working on the finishing touches.
Here are a few more peeks at some of the detail on the points.
La Lune
Barnaby Festival presents its biggest ever theatre performance, the magical family show The Astronomer’s Story was on Sat 18 and Sun 19 June. Christ Church, Macclesfield was transformed into the secret laboratory of a mysterious astronomer who discovers the secret of bringing the moon and stars down from the heavens and fills the town with starlight. But the town is in great peril because he doesn’t know how to send them back. Will you help him?
The Astronomer’s Story is the gateway to the La Lune adventure, where the families of Macclesfield are called upon to save the town!
The story of La Lune continues during the week with lots of FREE La Lune events check out http://barnabyfestival.org.uk/la-lune/ for details
La Lune culminates in
La Lune: The Moon Rising
On Saturday June 25th 8:45 pm till 9:30 pm
The spectacular culmination of the week long La Lune adventure. To save the town and make the moon rise, bring your friends, bring your families and bring your stars to Christ Church lawns. Our astronomer may return, bringing amazing sights to behold – but only if the whole town gathers.
Stay up past bedtime, just this once, because curious and beautiful things can happen as the summer sun sets…
Macclesfield Community ArtSpace is pleased to be working with Wild Rumpus on a Giant Star to be part of the The Moon Rising, come along on the 25th June and see what we’ve been up to!
On Wednesday two more points of the Star were reaching their final stages.
The group led by Patty Callaghan exploring Loss, were decorating their star point with images and text.
Later on St Paul’s Beavers, who have been working with Diana Hamilton came to see their star point. I asked one young gentleman, how they had made the exciting traces below.
Apparently the tracks are the orbital paths of painted marbles, rolling inside containers against the dark of space.
The children have also been screen printing spacy inages down at the Print Mill on Mill street. 
The Beavers have added more shiney stars to their screen prints and started sticking their creations onto the star point. We’re looking forward to the finished point!
