Come along and be part of an art event in Commondale celebrating three key parts of Commondale’s history: clay, sheep and community. Make three sheep out of clay – one for you and two for the flock that will remain in the garden of the village hall, in honour of yourself and someone important to you.

This public art piece will remain for you to visit for some time. Come back and visit it to see the changes as it is slowly weathered by time and the elements.

The project is being run by Sarah Parker and Becky Ciesielski, who are both artists and Commondale residents.

As part of Commondale Art Week we will be open for you to drop in on

Monday 29 May

Tuesday 30 May

Saturday 3 June

between 11am and 4pm at Commondale Village Hall, YO21 2HG.

A brickworks existed in Commondale between 1861 and 1947, under different names and owners. It was known for manufacturing these characteristic hard, bright red bricks.

This glorious specimen (pictured below) was found in our back garden. We live in one of the old brickworkers’ cottages.
