Adrian Pritchard talks to Sound artist Rob Mullender -Ross and Fleetwood artist Omani Hanmer about the sound media workshops conducted at the studios on behalf of the "Pride & Place Project" funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Dr Rob Mullender is fascinated with sound, and its ability to mediate and make meaning within multiple contexts. He works with sound within its broadest definitions (not ‘just’ as music); a sensory, active, social medium, revealing different ways of engaging with people and place.

These workshops engaged participants in building a sense of place through sound recording, listening, narrative and composition and weaving them into stories, impressions, histories, textures etc; creating works which build a sense ofplace through sound.

Market House Studios interviews sign painting artist Lisa Wigham and Suzanne Pinder  about the "Pride and Place" Sign Painting Exhibition which continues until March 29th 2025 @ Fleetwood Market Gallery Tuesdays,Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays, 9am-4pm

These art works have been made by local participants in workshops held at Market House Studios with Lisa Wigham, an artist who shares endangered craft skills of traditional sign painting.

As a collective the group explored the town to find traces of hand made signs- such as the lettering cast iron grids, masons marks carved in stone, mosaic tilesand faded 'ghost' signage on shop fronts.

During these adventures in 'sign spotting' the group explored the historic architecture and curious back streets, met people along the way to talk about ancient and modern myths, historic events and unique personality of Fleetwood-which inspired the artworks you will see in this exhibition.

Alex Holt interviews Market House Studio Artist Tina Warren about herself and the ongoing workshops at the Studios.

'Art Buffet was an idea by the Arts, Health and Wellbeing Officer Lesley who wanted to provide a free creative opportunity for local residents to connect with local professional artists at the stunning studios. The sessions are Thursday mornings for 8 weeks and involve 4 artists bringing a wide variety of things for people to simply have a go at and explore their own creative minds. Things on offer include sketching, acrylic and watercolour painting, clay modelling, sculpture work and printmaking.

It’s as much about the social opportunity as the creative one, and everyone is supported and gently guided to try these new things. A nice relaxing coffee break also helps people enjoy the atmosphere of friendship and mutual support. Previous participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have forged some lovely new friendships as a result so coming along can lead to more opportunities.

We are planning more in the future, including something similar in Cleveleys starting soon so if anyone is interested please speak to their local social prescriber at their GP surgery, or email [email protected]'
