Join artist-in-residence Sally Fitchard, who will be embarking upon an ambitious project involving local businesses and members of the public in our Newcastle Common space! Sally endeavours to re-create the town’s buildings through a series of cardboard structures that local businesses have been invited to contribute to, as well as creating and enabling members of the public to create, clay ‘town folk’ to populate the townscape.

We hope to present the final visualisation of the town, including its places as represented by embellished shoe boxes and its people in the form of handmade clay ‘buds’ within our Newcastle Common Astley Walk space on Saturday 15 October.

Sally will be available to work with members of the public every Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11am – 3pm within Newcastle Common, Astley Walk, Newcastle Under Lyme, ST5 2AH (just opposite The Old Bull’s Head Inn).

Come and say hello and create yourself in a simplified clay form to feature within this exciting project!
