HODS 24 Sketching in Stone: an exhibition by Berwick Bridge 400 Artist in Residence, Annie Lord

Berwick Old Bridge celebrates its 400th anniversary and Annie Lord, Connecting Threads Artist in Residence has been working with the local community to create an artistic response to this event. Come along and see the results at this exhibition. Throughout her residency, Annie has developed handmade paint, made from the same sandstone used to
repair the bridge. Inspired by the workers who initially constructed the bridge, Annie has invited local people to contribute an artwork in their honour, using this paint.
The sandstone creates a warm-toned, reddish-brown colour, and provides an exciting, at times unpredictable material to work with. These artworks, as well as Annie’s own work, will be on display as part of the exhibition.
Throughout the weekend, Annie will be on hand to chat about her archival research, and to demonstrate her handmade, sandstone paint. The residency is part of Destination Tweed’s Connecting Threads Project, supportedby National Lottery Heritage Fund.
