SPRING...work in progress

Black Orchard & Jane Platts collaboration for the Pass the Process project....

I spent a few hours today making a start on our piece of art...working with one of my favourite metals, copper.

The piece will evolve as we progress so all images will be 'teasers' until it's finished so we don't give the game away!

A model box...

Helaina Sharpley and Karen Stansfield: 

After discussing the project and our practices, we decided to collaborate on the creation of a model box (a scaled model of a theatre stage.)  This will combine our skills; Karen's, theatre and TV, set and costume design background, and Helaina's general craftiness, specialising in wirework and drawing.

The theatre we've chosen to use is the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield and we hope to bring to life, on this stage, 

'It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.'  Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.

Making the scenery will use both our skills in both designing and creating, using various techniques and mixed media.

Collaboration between Carrie Scott-Huby Artist and Dawn Robinson Photographer.

Carrie and Dawn have reached the same initiative to have a common theme working between both explorations of learning and advancing each others techniques and processes.

The image below is a flavour of the theme.
