Artwork inspired by Calderdale landmarks hidden in unexpected places as part of project
Key to this project are five temporary outdoor art installations that have been specially created in hidden and unexpected places in Todmorden, Heptonstall and Hebden Bridge.
The creator and co-ordinator of Calder Folk is Todmorden based creative artist, illustrator and writer Michael Powell who said: “Calder Folk aims to raise the awareness of the rich folklore, history, legends and landscapes of the Upper Calder Valley, and link it to the wider community through visual art, poetry and music."
