A Treasury of Tyneside Tales: Moving Parts Arts

A Treasury of Tyneside Tales is a collaborative storytelling project produced by Moving Parts Arts, bringing together intergenerational participants from across Tyneside to create handmade Crankies inspired by memories of local places.

​

As part of the project, I worked as an Assistant Artist and workshop facilitator, supporting participants through creative sessions where they explored storytelling, drawing, and scroll-making to develop their own Crankie narratives based on personal memories and local folklore.

​

The project reimagines the traditional 19th-century Crankie storytelling device, an illustrated scroll wound through a viewing box, through contemporary community voices.
