Project Update (August)

Joe - HandspringDesign — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 23:30:38 +0000

We’re nearing the end of the planning process, and we’re well under way with constructing and fabricating all the component parts of the artwork in our Sheffield workshop. We’re on to Arch C (3 of 6), and have one Skiff, nearly two upright Boat Seats finished, one more upright Boat Seat started and the keel for the final Skiff made.

Towards the end of August, we plan to start on the Timber Bones (for the bottom of the dock) and the two final Grounded Boats (at pavement level).

Community Engagement Project online

The sister site for this White Hart Dock Public Art & Community Engagement Project blog can be found at its new home here. It documents the creative learning projects done with local primary schools, has archive information on local issues and topics, and has loads of great photos of things that have been produced so far.

Thanks for everyone’s imput into this phase of the project.

Boat Carving (ongoing)

Joe - HandspringDesign — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:27:27 +0000

The inner face of the Dock Boat (our first Skiff) is slowly filling up with patterns, marks, doodles and letters. People are being invited to carve and draw from inside the boat, whether it be in Lambeth or Yorkshire. This boat will end up floating around White Hart Dock as part of the artwork.

Lambeth Country Show

On Saturday 18th July 2009 we took part in the Lambeth Country Show, giving everyone there the opportunity to hone their artistic and woodworking techniques. We invited people to get in the first boat and leave thier mark. This boat is part of the permanent artwork to be installed in White Hart Dock in August 2009.
