POP GOES TO TAUNTON

Taunton High Street

Keith pulled! - This lady wants to take him away to a hotel in Sidmouth!!

The Our Place Your Place shop

Bev Susan and Keith were lucky enough this week to make the trip to Taunton to visit the partner project there.

We had a great visit, stayed in a lovely hotel, ate some great food and met some really friendly people.

The staff at Taunton were really helpful and gave some useful insight about their project.

They did some very interesting work on the heritage of Taunton, its history and the plans for future regeneration.

I think that Robbie and her team were a little overwhelmed once Bev and Susan warmed up and blasted them with the tempestuous force that is there enthusiasm!!!!

We did some activities as you can see from the photographs and had a good time. Notice that there's yet another photo of Bev with a brew in her hand!

GRAND CELEBRATION - THE FINAL CURTAIN

Just a taster of an amazing last day at POP. More comment and pictures to follow during the week including an account of our visit to OUR PLACE YOUR PLACE in Taunton, Somerset. Our partner project finsih next week and we get to join them for a couple of days!

The last week in POP

Tuesday saw another successful Public Art Consultation session.

More artist responses on Wednesday - this time a Year 7 group from St Bede's - who were really excited and did very well.

We were also joined by Dora Spanou from the MLA who thoroughly enjoyed getting down and dirty!

Textiles

A great Saturday textiles workshop by Gwyneth Clarkson.

A change of pace today - a more adult audience and more sedate atmosphere. Good.

MIX

MIX at POP (Multi-media Interactive Experiment)

An amazing evening of Contemporary Dance, Poetry, Live Music and digital images by Red Wave Dance, a talented group of musicians and the creative flair of pre-degree foundation students from Blackburn College. This ambitious project was also coordinated by the students and a tutor from Blackburn College. As one member of the audience commented - 'a fantastic event, attacking all the senses.'
