The Big Picture


Today has been a fun day preparing for Friday's project. I will be outside of the Bridges shopping centre in Sunderland from 10am until around 4pm with another 2 artists from creative cohesion, Criss Chaney and Liz Shaw. For more info click here.

So, the idea behind the project is to try to get 100 people to decorate a 3 inch by 3 inch tile in a mixed media way to express a summer memory. At the end of the day I will take the 100 tiles and display them as one large piece of work- a big picture describing a Sunderland summer.

There will also be the option of creating a tile out of ceramics with Liz Shaw to create a similar big picture, and we are hoping to display the work throughout Sunderland once it is finished.



This is tile number 1 by Jo Howell (Jo Howell Photography and Maverickart), and number 14 by Phil Vickery (Phil Vickery Glass).

Just to get the ball rolling and to give you guys something to think about for your tile creations, or cast glass creations with Criss on friday.

See you all there!

Jo Howell
