ROCKAWAY PARK

This unique space has evolved and grown inside an old disused quarry/scrapyard, accommodating 20 resident artists making work covering all different genres. It’s edgy, intentional and inspiring

Rockaway park could now be described as "A DIY utopia hidden in the British countryside"

ROCKAWAY ART WEEKEND

This sat and sun.

Featuring my mobile art trolley exhibition thing.

And an absolute mountain of things to do and see. See you there.

Once a scrapyard, and before that a quarry, Rockaway has grown over two decades into a thriving hub housing over 20 artists studios, a community garden, music recording and rehearsal studio, vegan cafe, two covered stages, and the self-declared “Chapel of Unrest” - a crowdfunded monument to alternative thought and protest movements.

Described by VICE as a “DIY Utopia hidden in the British countryside” Rockaway has welcomed guests including wildlife broadcaster Chris Packham and the iconic filmmaker Ken Loach.

This year’s RAW will bring together resident artists and guest makers from across the UK working in painting, sculpture, print, textiles, glass, metalwork and street art alongside a multitude of workshops curated by Fieldwork including: Badge making, Ink cap mushroom screenprinting by Justine Green and Risograph poster making by Formatte.

Exhibitions on site feature prolific a solo show from photographer Chris Killip in the Gallery, A display of new textile works by Black Lodge Press and a special group show featuring many of Rockaway’s residents curated by Kaye Dunnings (Shangri-La Glastonbury)

Elsewhere, there are live demos in letterpress printing by House Of Jo and glass blowing by Lydia Swann, Foraging with Go Foraging and a graffiti workshop by Billy Colours.

Live art and performance on Saturday comes from the cosmic Microrave, and Acid House Therapy, while Sunday brings Clown and Shadow Puppet Show Thimble and the Bug Band

🖼🎨 PART 2️⃣ KINGSTON STREET ART FESTIVAL
And here’s Part 2! 🙌
We spent last weekend exploring the Kingston Street Art Festival, organised by @theroyalboroughofstreetart and curated by @5kyh1gh and @roo_art
With so much incredible work across Kingston, there was no way we could fit everything into one post. So, just like Part 1, we’ve picked out more of the pieces that caught our eye and stood out to us on the day.
So many different styles, ideas and approaches, all coming together to create something really special across the streets of Kingston.
Another huge congratulations to everyone involved. What a fantastic celebration of street art and creativity! 🎨🙌 @inkingstonuk @alfreshcodave

Here are some more of our favourites from the festival:

In 2023 me and @billycolours drove 800 miles to Leipzig with our 4 month old to paint Muriel’s at @ibug.art festival.

On the way we said we would paint little walls whilst taking care of the nipper.

One hour after arriving we agreed to paint a massive wall together. Something we don’t normally do.

What followed was a mental breakdown spanning several days and then when we finally agreed on a design it started to rain.

Despite all odds we finished the wall and our mental health recovered. I’m back again to paint some more snazzy Muriel’s.
