From Cassidy Frances in Burlington, Vermont. What is your relationship with water? It’s a simple question I’ve been presenting to people—a chance to ponder and meditate in front of the typewriter. #water #waterwednesday #flow #participatoryarts #burlingtoncityarts #oflandandlocal

From the woman who will never use a typewriter again…… (with smile). One of the responses from “Of Land & LOCAL” exhibit at Burlington City Arts in Vermont. Participants type on prepared Japanese paper which was stained with tea first. Then, they get to take someone else’s story as an exchange. #water #participatoryarts #typing

Artist In Training Programme ‘World In One City’

Our final session with the second World In One City group was led by artists Steve Dixon, Eleanor Sims and Joanne Ayre. We created medals using mixed media techniques and added decals to the pieces created previously. As well as creating and finishing pieces, Barry Taylor joined us in the BCB studio for a conversation with the Burslem Jubilee group. The discussion was based around stories about 'home', 'journey' and 'Stoke', and the information collected will form a new artwork to be exhibited as part of 'Refugee Tales' which will be exhibited during the British Ceramics Biennial festival. "We sit together, discuss and share. I feel a sense of belonging here!" "I have a new life in Stoke. People are welcoming here. I feel safe!" Creating the medals have been fantastic for the participants, not only for the group to learn a variety of skills, but also help them gain an understanding of other refugees and asylum seekers, specifically during World War One. The pieces created were very well made, and the ownership and pride shone through, with great detail going into creating the pieces. Projects like ‘World In One City’ are hugely important. With recent negative press, projects like this can change attitudes towards refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. It is extremely important for these groups to engage, interact, build communication skills, form positive relationships and to have a place to feel safe. A really lovely last session with amazing outcomes. I'm looking forward to seeing all the completed work exhibited.
