Underworld is a project by Shallal Studios artists exploring bats and seaweed. Over eight months 74 artists and 85 school children researched and developed work through a series of workshops that explored Cornwall’s natural world - low beneath the surface of the sea and high into the night sky. The multi-sensory project was led by the artists’ research, coming together through two exhibitions at Kresen Kernow & Falmouth Art Gallery, an e-book and a printed zine.
Shallal Sketchbooks is an ongoing community art project involving hundreds of people in the UK and overseas over the past five years. Participants are sent a sketchbook in the post and after three months they return the full sketchbook to Shallal to be included in a growing travelling library.
We are grateful to our social prescribing partners Imagine If CIC for helping Sketchbooks to carry on through the current pandemic.
