In February 2020, One Ash tree was felled. Since then, we have been following the journey of it’s timber as it is transformed into its end product. From charcoal to chairs, we’re bringing artefacts from the tree back together, along with schools contributions, in this final exhibition celebrating all that can come from one single tree.

This event is part of the One Ash project*

Where: Chapel Art Studios Chapel, St Mary’s Chapel, Andover SP10 1DP

When: Between 7th July - 23rd July 2022. Thurs/Fri/Sat 11am - 4pm

* ‘One Ash’ is a ‘6 Trees & 6 Flowers’ project with a focus on sustainable forestry.

In three parts – meet the tree, be there for its felling, follow the tree’s gift of timber as it passes into the hands of the people who will process it – ‘One Ash’ will give 130 pupils and students from 4 Andover schools a greater understanding of the role of trees in our lives. We hope it will inspire them to see trees in a new light and bring a greater connection to this precious natural resource.

Through meetings with craftsmen, artists and wood processors and, where feasible, visits to workshops, the young people involved will be introduced to the world of wood and the people who work it. They will have the chance to follow the journey of the timber from one felled ash and chart the many forms that we hope it will take over the next two and a half years.
