Loop the Loop, St Ives was a series of events at St Ives library in Cornwall, inspired by books. Artist/filmmaker Joanna Mayes was in residence at St Ives library for two weeks and invited visitors to talk about books, film and how to process it with coffee! Jo then invited other artists to come down during the second week, providing drop-in activities, workshops and general mayhem and a great deal of fun ensued! See the Loop the Loop St Ives events for details of activities which took place there. Watch this space for links to film taken and processed by Jo and videos of work made by workshop participants.
Special thanks go to the staff at St Ives library for making Loop the Loop possible. The team helped to both plan and deliver the events and worked tirelessly to ensure that it was a success. All the artists involved would also like to says big thank you to everyone who got involved and for making this a very supportive environment in which to share our work. |
