Big Draw at Open
The Brindley
26 October 2007

Claire Weetman led an experimental drawing session at the Open event held at The Brindley Arts centre to coincide with the Big Draw.

Participants were asked to create charcoal drawings onto paper, following the movement of the shadows cast by other participants. This process was filmed, with the resulting video forming the basis for figure drawings of each of the participants. Tom Ledson, a participant in the workshop wrote a poem reflecting the activity taking place.

These three elements were combined by Claire and printed in a limited edition of 10 postcards, given to the participants.

Open is a monthly evening with the chance for participants to share their written and performance work and to take part in workshops that develop and inform these skills.
