WHAT IS THE BEEHIVE?
The Beehive is a touring public art installation created for SHEDx that champions community cohesion and celebrates individuals, offering them a supportive space to exhibit their skill sets and methods of self-expression.
Built from UK chestnut and Build with Hubs joints, the 4m x 3m handmade geodesic frame is covered in carefully appliqued recycled gazebo fabric. Inside is a honey-coloured den of donated textiles, materials created during community workshops and bees made by local artists.
The Beehive is on tour around Tolworth and surrounding boroughs between November 2019 and March 2020 offering a wide range of activities for the general public. Event details will be listed here very shortly. If you are part of a community focused space that would like to host The Beehive, or are a creative wanting to run an event, please email hello@debbiechessell.com
