Making and Me | Windmill Base 

What led you here, to this place and to becoming the person you are today? Has creativity been part of your journey?

Over summer 2026, older adult artists from local The Peel community centre explored these questions with illustrator Grace Holliday. Together, they experimented with printing techniques while reflecting on the creative experiences that have shaped them.

Each artist created a visual ‘trail’, with symbols representing their path from past to present. Memories of places, music, nature and collections of special objects are combined with new experiences and inspiration.

Each trail tells a personal story. Here they are joined to celebrate the community the artists have found in one another. In an accompanying soundscape, they talk about what community and creativity mean to them.

Open with opening hours in the Windmill Base for one month from 4 September.
