Chatty Chalkers (a subgroup of SeaSalt Streets) wishes to expand Saltcoats' arts & heritage trail by creating more murals and introducing small pieces of wire sculptures. These installations will be carried out by locals (children and adults) who will be trained by Chatty Chalkers artist The Inked Pigeon through a series of free classes!!!
Project Description
Chatty Chalkers intend to run classes in the Argyle Centre (rent sponsored by SeaSalt Streets) to teach adults and children how to paint murals via the Oculus Quest, build and install 3D wire sculptures, create and paint moulded ornaments and how to construct sand structures and pictures. Chatty Chalkers have experience in delivering projects having successfully produced a series of pop-up events featuring pavement chalk drawing, sand art and sculptures and stone and shell painting. The pop-up events are advertised on social media two days before and the location disclosed. They often draw up to 30 participants at their free events.
Chatty Chalkers will offer, free and open to all, kids and adult art workshops, both indoor and outdoor. The participants will be taught mural structure and painting, basic sand art and 3D forming, simple plaster moulding and how to form and strengthen wire figures.
In order to facilitate the classes/workshops, Chatty Chalkers require the following equipment and materials.
Oculus Quest & power bank £220.00. Stepladders and spray paint £80.00. Masonry paint, brushes,dust sheets, overalls, warning tape etc. £196.00. Chicken wire, foam blocks and cutter, UV resin £175.00.
