Further Info

A lot will be happening at the Old School, Milverton, during the Festival. There will be an exhibition by local artist, Judy Willoughby, a writing workshop by Briony Goffin; clay workshops with Nick Bickford, an installation and the opportunity to help create an original art work for the community.

Nick Bickford will be living outside for two days and two nights at the venue ending at 6.00 pm on Sunday 13th as an experiment to find out what it might be like to be homeless.

He wants to share this experience with people who come to the Old School to find out how well they think they would survive a big change in their lives.

To help record the event he will be making clay faces to reflect his thoughts and experiences throughout the period. Visitors will be encouraged to make clay faces themselves so that something permanent is produced by consisting of original work by many people expressing themselves in the same way.

The aim is to create a collaborative art piece to be displayed throughout the festival as it grows made up of as many faces as possible all made by local people. Everyone who participates will receive a photograph of the sculpture when it has been completed.
