LANCASTER SKETCH

I thought it would be fun to take part in this project, as I can have a space to sketch ideas and experiences throughout lockdown, and just have an object I can put all my random creative ideas and urges into. It is nice to have a tactile outlet for creativity, especially since I am without university facitilies. I am not a good drawer but it is refreshing to channel creative ideas through mixed media and not just photography.

“Over the next couple months we will be running a sketchbook project for anyone that wants to participate across Lancaster. The idea is to sketch, draw, paint, scrap, collage or write in the time we are forced to isolate. It is a space to explore ideas and to draft plans for bigger projects or a non-digital space to experiment and play.

When we are able to return to social-gatherings we will offer all participants the opportunity to exhibit their sketchbooks in their entirety or select pages alongside any other art or craft projects produced in the coming months.”

This is an ongoing project that I will continue until lockdown is lifted. I’ll definitely participate in the sketchbook exhibition once it is safe to do so, to see other local people’s experience of lockdown. It will be nice to reconnect with local creative people from my hometown Lancaster.
