A grand start....


On Saturday I had the privilege of attending a Rednile Projects Factory Night's event. The day was spent chinwagging with fellow artists about their work and processes, then was topped off with a lovely warming dark rum with blackcurrent at the Smugglers.

We got a rare chance to get into Spottee's cave and to hear all of the plans that Sunderland Council has for improving our coastline. We looked at the changes that have already taken place and thought about Roker's interesting history. We then had a great time in the Watch house museum looking at all of the amazing nautical memorabilia.

The video link above shows an animated sketchbook that I kept to record the day. The event was great for meeting my peers and has given me food for thought about how to progress current projects that look at my local area and history.

So watch this space for future developments which will span across my mixed media, photography and film techniques!
