Voices of the Avon Tideway is a public art residency and permanent artwork by Dan Pollard exploring the soundscape of Bristol and the River Avon, as part of the regeneration of St Philip's Marsh.

🔊 Sound on to hear vocalist Ellie Showering's voice played through the architecture of the footbridge.

"The bridge itself seems to sing, and these voices resonate up and down the river. Playing this music back into the landscape it came from activates its rich acoustic qualities and allows the listener to explore these three dimensional compositions in real time and space.” (Dan Pollard)

The residency has included dawn chorus recordings along the tidal Avon with Ellie Williams, capturing birdsong alongside the sounds of runners, cyclists, trains and the city waking up.

Further explorations with Holly Thomas and Will Goodchild revealed the footbridge has a sonic life of its own, with drainpipes that resonate and amplify sound along the river.

The bronze deer comes together 🦌

At this stage in the foundry process, the cast bronze sections of Dorcas Casey's deer sculpture are skillfully welded together by the technicians at Castle Fine Arts Foundry.

Sandblasting removes the final traces of the ceramic shell, and every join is meticulously worked back into the surface, restoring the fabric textures and details from Dorcas' original sculpture. The heat of the welding leaves fleeting rainbow colours across the bronze.

The deer is now ready for the final stage of the process, where a patina will be applied to the surface.

Dorcas' new public sculpture will be installed in autumn 2026 on Trinity Road in Bristol's Old Market. Produced by Ginkgo Projects, the work is part of a new residential development on Trinity Road, delivered by The Guinness Partnership.

"Even when projects remain unbuilt, the research and design journey always leaves a lasting impact." — Adam Nathaniel Furman

Artist Adam Nathaniel Furman designed 'Paignton Pillar', a proposed ceramic and sandstone seating, planter, and wayfinding installation, in 2018.

The design was deeply inspired by the local architectural history of central Paignton, and was part of a proposed renewal of the station area.

Although Paignton Pillar was not ultimately realised, the design process explored new ways of connecting people with the character and history of the place.

Casting Caerphilly | Castio Caerffili

These images show the relief map and miniature figures being coated in a ceramic shell to create moulds for bronze casting.

Using the traditional “lost wax” process, the wax inside is melted away before molten bronze is poured into the moulds.

The finished artwork will become a permanent feature in the town centre, celebrating the stories, people and myths that have shaped Caerffili over centuries.

Look out for behind-the-scenes footage of the bronze pour!

The Caerffili Town Relief Map is commissioned through the Caerffili Town 2035 regeneration project. Ginkgo Projects is working with Stride Treglown to integrate culture and public art into the wider regeneration plans.

Mae’r delweddau yma’n dangos y map tirwedd a’r ffigurau bach yn cael eu gorchuddio mewn cragen ceramig i greu mowldiau ar gyfer y castio efydd.

Gan ddefnyddio’r broses “cwyr coll” draddodiadol, mae’r cwyr y tu mewn yn cael ei doddi cyn i efydd toddedig gael ei arllwys i'r mowldiau.

Bydd y gwaith celf gorffenedig yn nodwedd barhaol yn y dref, gan ddathlu’r straeon, y bobl a’r chwedloniaeth sydd wedi llunio Caerffili dros y canrifoedd.

Cadwch lygaid allan am ddelweddau arbennig o’r efydd yn cael ei arllwys!

Mapping Caerffili | Mapio Caerffili

Artist Sebastien Boyesen is creating a detailed relief map of Caerffili town, filled with local history, hidden references and legendary Caerffili characters.

The map brings together centuries of stories — from castle battles and Welsh folklore to Tommy Cooper and the S*x Pistols — in one sculptural procession through the town.

A wax replica has now been taken from the original clay sculpture, and a Corten steel plinth for the final artwork has been shaped.

Over the coming weeks we’ll share more behind-the-scenes glimpses into the making process.

The Caerffili Town Relief Map is commissioned through the Caerphilly Town 2035 Placemaking Plan. Ginkgo Projects is working with Stride Treglown to embed culture and public art into the town’s future regeneration plans.

Mae’r artist Sebastien Boyesen wrthi’n dylunio map tirwedd manwl o dref Caerffili yn llawn hanes lleol, cyfeiriadau cudd a chymeriadau chwedlonol y dref.

Bydd y map yn tynnu ynghyd canrifoedd o straeon – o frwydrau yn y castell a llên gwerin Cymru i Tommy Cooper a’r S*x Pistols - mewn un orymdaith gerfluniol drwy’r dref.

Mae copi cwyr bellach wedi’i gymryd o’r cerflun clai gwreiddiol ac mae plinth dur Corten ar gyfer y gwaith celf terfynol wedi’i siapio.

Dros yr wythnosau nesaf byddwn yn rhannu cipolwg neu ddau arall o’r broses greu.
