The aim of the Make Art Happen project team at The Old Low Light was to engage local residents in a project which would highlight ‘Heritage and New Industry’ through visual art.

Working with artist Susan Warlock for six weeks the project participants worked to create a series of group mosaics around the theme of ‘Heritage and Lost Industry’ of North Shields. Creating a collection of mosaic artworks that were later exhibited at The Old Low Light.

“Really enjoyed this course, fantastic workshops and Susan has been brilliant. Love the idea that we have a joint piece going into the Heritage Centre.”
