PAST: PRESENT: FUTURE is a project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which is being undertaken by Fabrica Gallery and some of its volunteers. This project will bring to light previously unexplored history about the exhibition space, a restoration of some of the church’s key original features and an amazing learning resource in the form of a book detailing the story of the Holy Trinity Church.
Fabrica have partnered with Strike a Light – Arts & Heritage to deliver a series of three years of Heritage Open Days activities. These open days will be taking place in September 2019, 2021 and 2022.
These take the form of creative schools workshops based on restoration of stained glass at Fabrica gallery – part of the Holy Trinity Church 200th building anniversary.
Our heritage inspired creative activities at Fabrica will include:
* Discussion about stained glass and examples
* Workshop on making faux stained glass with children
* Differentiation activity with scratch relief stained glass effect

The first of these Heritage Open Days, co-produced with Strike a Light, was providing local primary schools with workshops exploring the beautiful stained glass in the building. We will be exploring safe ways of engaging schools this autumn 2021 to enable pupils to participate including digital ways to participate.
