Welcome to Strandline - a new creative project in Paignton, sharing our everyday stories & making something new for our town. Tell your story & get involved!
Hello!
Local artists/musicians Emma Welton & Steve Sowden here with news of an exciting new creative adventure in Paignton for all local folk to get involved with.
Extending from May to October 2024, ‘Strandline’ will take us on a journey into & around the beating heart(s) of Paignton, it’s people, and their stories... we would love you to come along for the ride!
Emma & I invite you to discover Paignton’s “history from below” with us, to explore the oldest parts of town, and to unearth hidden sounds, tales, perspectives, music, images & much more. We can’t wait to see what stories unfold...
Please join us for a series of fortnightly workshops / meet-ups. In May these will take place on Saturday 11th and 25th May in Paignton's iconic Liberal Club (the cupola-topped building opposite Tesco and Lloyds Bank at the start of Totnes Road).
Thanks warmly & we hope to see you there!
Emma and Steve
