<br />
Despite a tricky weather forecast the intrepid creative folks of the Alston area made their way to The Brewery in Alston for a day of creative challenge. The Brewery is a set of buildings containing potters' studios as well as a very well equipped room for hire.<br />
<br />
Bridget and Mair worked with Alston Moor Film in order to find people who would be interested in this workshop. Alston Moor Film also did what you might expect of them and filmed the workshop. Look out for a link to the film on this blog.<br />
<br />
But for the meantime here are some photos of the workshop participants getting to grips with hope to create a set of images for the Praxinoscope.<br />

Time to celebrate and reflect on the Connecting Killhope workshops undertaken so far.................</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During a classic Killhope summer's day (drizzle and midges) 18 intrepid visitors made it up to the yurt village to see what has been created during the project.</div>

After an action packed time it was no wonder some people were starting run low on energy, but we all had a great time. A huge thanks to the volunteers from the youth group without whom this could not have happened. Thanks also to Pip and Millie for opening up early and providing us with the breakfast that saw us through the morning. And last but not least thanks to WAAP for providing the extra funding to cover this over night stay.</div>

Once the whole group was back from the walks is was time to get creative... feathers, fabric, pine cones, lichen whatever had been collected from the woods was attached to the sticks. Then the sticks were decorated with special glow in the dark paint and left to dry ready for the mine trip the next day.</div>

The group split into two, boys in one, girls in the other (a natural and comfortable dynamic). One group started with a walk in the woods hunting for objects to include in a memory stick that would be constructed in the yurt later. Whilst the other group headed off on a pre prepared Clue Trail.</div>

There are many more photos from our fantastic adventure at Killhope but I couldn't resist posting this one straight away. This was after our "glow in the dark sticks" mine trip on the Saturday morning, believe me those sticks really, really glowed!Connecting Killhopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06313772967508336302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364872076275310548.post-86361368754771879892015-04-28T12:06:00.000-07:002015-04-28T12:06:02.287-07:00In Stanhope with the St Thomas's Youth Group 28th April 2015Twelve young people and four volunteers explored new ways of drawing with Bridget. First they drew portraits of each other onto Perspex sheets.....then they presented their drawings to each other and said a little bit about their sitter and his or her unique qualities.<br />

<br />
It was Sunday 5th October, not a great day weather wise, but 12 plucky members of St Thomas Church Youth Group made the journey up to Killhope to see what creative delights awaited them.....<br />
<br />
First Mair and Bridget showed them round parts of the museum, pointing out the use of tools and machines in the daily lives of the men who worked at the lead mine over 150 years ago.<br />

“ Life in the Landscape” ran over three days of glorious sunshine in July (24<sup>th</sup>, 25<sup>th</sup> and 28<sup>th</sup>). These workshops were not intended as master classes or technical demonstrations, Bridget and Mair wanted to explore ideas with people and encourage them to think about the surrounding landscape in a different way. The publicity they sent out posed the question “What happens when Landscape meets Still-Life?” Nineteen people in total attended the workshops, fourteen on the Thursday, fourteen on the Friday and nine on the Monday. Although Bridget and Mair designed the workshops as three consecutive sessions they invited people to come to whichever days were convenient for them. The atmosphere was relaxed and sociable, plenty of refreshments were on offer throughout. To start off the first session Mair had prepared a short slide show, so after an initial introduction to the project in general everyone settled down to look at images of still life painting and photography both classical and contemporary, followed by imagery of landscape. Through various local networks Bridget and Mair had connected with people who had previous experience of drawing and painting so the level of discussion about this imagery and how it might inspire art works during the workshops was of a sophisticated nature. Participants ranged in age from the 20-30 bracket to the 70-80 bracket and came from as far a field as Newcastle and as close by as Sparty Lea.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">It did get quite serious at times, honest. An important part of the sessions were the group discussions when the artists took time to look at what everyone had produced and give as well as receive constructive criticism.</span></div>

After
a stimulating discussion participants were invited to draw from a selection of
still life set ups. These arrangements of objects incorporated mineral
specimens and artefacts from Killhope Museum as well as plants and vegetables
from the garden at the centre, which is cared for by Natural Ability a local
organisation working with people with learning and other disabilities. Bridget
and Mair led these drawing sessions providing specific drawing materials and
directing particular tasks, such as time limited drawings, drawing without
looking at the paper and so on. These sessions were at times quite challenging
and were intended to limber up the aspiring artists. After a much needed
refreshments break the group displayed and discussed the work they had produced
that afternoon and talked through what they wanted to achieve in the next
session.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light';">Day two began with more drawing exercises followed by self-directed
drawing sessions both in and outside of the centre. Bridget and Mair guided the
participants into incorporating landscape imagery into their still life
compositions. After lunch some of the artists explored the nearby Blackett
Level mining remains at Holmes Linn, whilst others stayed closer to the centre
drawing and painting in the beautiful sunshine. The day concluded with a group
discussion and more planning for the third and final session.</span><!--EndFragment--> </div>

The
group provided very positive feedback. One participant wrote that the workshops
gave her the opportunity: “to work on a concept I have struggled with for
sometime and it gave me the opportunity to work that out.” Another commented
that the workshops were a “wonderful opportunity, lovely three days!”<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This has been provided by Weardale Area Action Partnership and will enable us to provide free transport and a series of free workshops to the participating young people.<br />

We (Bridget +Mair) made contact with the group nearly a year ago when we were doing some research for the arts engagement project with Killhope. Bridget has been to meet the young people a couple of times now and they made some smashing drawings during the last meeting (see previous post).<br />
<br />
The project will start in earnest in September so watch this space for news of it's development.Connecting Killhopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06313772967508336302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364872076275310548.post-80377293350542470762014-07-02T08:18:00.002-07:002014-07-02T08:39:43.978-07:00Pre project drawing session with St Thomas Church Youth Group<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The group of young people split into two groups and made collaborative drawings based on 17th century prints of mineral samples. There was some interesting discussion about the end results, some how although they started from an image of a small object the drawings took on the look of a huge mountain range or a rolling landscape.<br />
<br />
See what you think for your self.<br />
