MY STORY RESIDENCY – No. 4

MY STORY RESIDENCY – NORTH WATFORD LIBRARY

My Story is an intergenerational community Arts project inspired by shared stories from Hertfordshire residents led by Hertfordshire Library Service in partnership with Nysa Projects and funded by Arts Council England; to inspire local people to develop their creative practice working with professional artists to co-create artworks and produce arts events hosted in libraries.

As part of this project I was appointed Artist in Residence at North Watford Library to start in 2022.
We have now completed four Drop In sessions making Paper Houses and Artbooks all based on the theme of Memories of Watford. Two Day-long Workshops in which photos of Watford were transferred onto good Printmaking paper and various print processes were demonstrated as ways to transform the photos.

Photography students from West Herts College attended the latest workshop and were receptive to new ways to create artworks out of their photos. Feedback from the students has been very positive with some of them carrying the processes in their own time. This photos shows some of the transformations achieved.
