Starting Off

After nearly a months worth of planning, not to mention 3 months worth of workshops and discussions with the NewBridge residents, we are ready to go. Securing £250 worth of funding through Newcastle Uni's ncl+ scheme has been extremely helpful, as it has allowed us to buy loads of materials, covered advertising costs, rent relevant equipment and so on.
A hectic first few hours lugging all our stuff from various places in Newcastle and from the studios was how the event took off, but we soon settled and got into the swing of things. We started off by setting up the time lapse film, then by moving in all the materials to the middle of the room, and from then on, until Friday night, its a bit of a free for all.

Already Abbie and Phil have started a huge painting/ mixed media piece, Will has been making some small-scale collages, Hannah and Harriet are both drawing in the corner, Anna has produced a Calder-esque little sculpture, Jessamys filming the action, and myself and Becy are currently planning the collaborative sculpture we intend to make in the coming days.
