This is the third session where we will be reviewing progress from the previous sessions.
Our first session was a discussion session so we could agree as to what our focus could be for the development of new chapbooks. This resulted in us looking the new path The Tyne Derwent Way.
However, we have widened the geological boundaries to include the Ouseburn and so our story begins at the City Farm in Byker and finishes at Gibside.
The back of the Great North Museum Archives Chapbook by Steve Pardue.
So far we have included the story of Domestos, the Victoria Tunnel, The Baltic floor Mill, The Keelmen and the Tyne bridges, the Dunston Staithes, waders and gulls and of course Red Kites along the Derwent.
Each artist is encouraged to develop their own chapbook based on these subjects and this area. In addition to the formal sessions we are also meeting for informal site visits which will allow for discussion as well as to see for ourselves the subjects and to do a bit of urban sketching along the way. Of course a cuppa now and then too!
If you would like to take part in this creative and addictive new way of creating art and stories then come along to the next session at Forest Hall Library.
