Todmorden Lamplighter (Nov 2016)
- Working under commission from Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade, a project was developed in conjunction with Todmorden CE Primary School.
- Year 5 pupils were asked to pair up & make pencil drawings of 'mythical fire creatures', following the festival's theme this year. Children then re-worked drawings by using a single 3m length of string, taped to black paper.
- Drawings were then transcribed onto builders' polythene sheet, roughly 60 x 60cm, using a CD pen to avoid smearing.
- Electroluminescent wire, of various colours, was obtained in 3m lengths, along with combined inverters/ sequencers and 4 x AA battery packs. This enabled 5 wire drawings to be powered from 1 battery pack and inverter. 3 batches of kit enabled 15 similar drawings to be created.
