As part of the Derbyshire Makes 2026 programme, Junction Arts is collecting stories and ideas from makers across Chesterfield to better understand your needs, uncover opportunities, and celebrate the town’s vibrant making identity. Whether you’re a professional artist, dedicated hobbyist, or creative at heart, your voice matters.

Drama & Doodle Story Gathering Session  

A fun and creative story gathering workshop, using drama and illustration, artists Kelly Sheldon and Carole Copeland will stimulate conversations, allowing you to tell the story of your craft or creative journey.

This is more than just a workshop—your insights could become part of a public exhibition in Chesterfield town centre as part of Derbyshire Makes 2026! We’re creating 10 Makers' Stories to highlight the rich and diverse world of making in our community, past and present.
