Julie Caves is one of the organisers of local artist-led
group Waltham Forest Arts Club. She tells us a bit about what is happening at
Orford House on the last weekend of the trail.
On the last weekend of the trail, Saturday 14th and Sunday
15th of June there will be music, walks, talks and surprises, inspired by
Walthamstow’s past, from the Domesday Book up to yesterday. This History Strand
of the trail has been organised by Lissa Chapman of Clio's Company theatre
group and it is a great programme!

Waltham Forest Arts Club members are participating in some
of the activities. Amongst the talks at Orford House on the Saturday Julian
Beere will tell us about the statues on the town hall and Nicolette Murin will
explain Arts Club's new project- the creation of an Art Lending Library, a
library where you can borrow art for three months. Hear about art lending
starting with William Morris Gallery in 1965 and moving further afield in place
and time in the UK and America.

On the Sunday Arts Club will be hosting a lovely event as
part of the History Strand at Orford House from 11:00-5:00 - 'Dancing and
Drawing Through Time'. A great way to end the trail! Starting the day with
performances by Tudor Dancers in lovely costumes, continuing on through English
Country dancing, then belly dancing and progressing through time to swing
dancing! A few more dance demonstrations
may still be added, an updated schedule will be added to the Art Trail web
listing.

motion or just rest your feet in the lovely space and watch the dancers. Come
