We have now commissioned an artist for the ‘Welcome to Sharrow’ signposts competition. Artists from all over the country expressed an interest in the project; the commissioning process was very challenging due to the very high standard of entries.
The successful candidate, chosen from a shortlist of four, is collaborative, using the skills and knowledge of ‘Handspring Design’ and ‘Bird and Bee’. Handspring’s website is http://www.handspringdesign.co.uk/ and 'Bird and Bee's' is http://www.birdandbee.co.uk/profile.htm. We felt that they had a very high quality of final product, strength in a variety of mediums and great experience of running creative involvement programmes and workshops.
The project commences in mid January and the design phase will run for six weeks. There will be a number of workshops where you can get involved in the design process. Details of when, where and how to get involved will be posted here as the project develops.
The shortlisted artists we: Si Applied, Dave Appleyard, Tom Pearman, Bird and Bee/ Handspring Design. Above are some of the images sent to us during the shortlisting process; a copy of the brief is available from julia@sharrrowcf.org.uk.
