Totally lovely comments from talented artist Dawn Turner:
"This afternoon, my Mum, my son and I went to Maltbys Creative Mill on Station Road, to celebrate the launch of Totally Locally Ilkeston's Fiverfest.
Part of today's events included a screening of The Lacemakers, a poignant, thought provoking and surprisingly interesting documentary about the lace industry in the area. If you get an opportunity to see a screening of the film, I would highly recommend it.
Maltby's Mill (the former Seven Stars Cash and Carry) is currently being transformed, from a state of disrepair back to it's former glory, to become a creative hub which will house several studios, a gallery space and cafe - I can't wait to see how it progresses. Well done to Deborah & Jeremy on all the hard work they've put in so far, it's going to be wonderful!"
