Illustrating Wednesbury
Artist Claire Leggett engaged local community groups and residents, artists and students at Sandwell College in a series of online illustration workshops, designed to guide participants towards producing illustrations of historical buildings and objects that are manufactured locally or are culturally significant. Claire produced some of her own illustrations too.
The participants were guided to use watercolour wash over an inked drawing in order to bring a coherence to the collective work for the We are Wednesbury map. The community groups and residents had an evident love and pride for their local environment and this shone through their artwork.
