screen grab of tweave web site showing a map where sounds have been recorded

Artists Amy Houghton and Ed Holroyd have been working on a creative web based project called Tweave commissioned by Craftspace.

Tweave is a website that maps sound recordings of craft and making to create an evolving thread of sounds. Anyone can contribute by uploading sound recordings they have made and anybody can browse the map and listen to the recordings.

The website address is: www.tweave.co.uk

Over the last few weeks the creators of Tweave, Amy Houghton and Ed Holroyd, have been undertaking a ‘Craft Crawl’ where they have been visiting people’s places of making to make recordings to add to the Tweave map. As part of this Craft Crawl they are organising a ‘Tweave up mini bus Craft Crawl’ which will take place on Saturday 30th July. They are inviting people to join them on this mini bus Craft Crawl which will involve making (bring something along for the trip), visiting people’s places of making, making recordings and a picnic. The plan is that the mini bus will set off from Bath, head towards Stroud and back again.

There are 15 places available so if you would like to join them please email Amy at mail@amyhoughton.co.uk. They will also shortly arrange a rendezvous place and time where people that don’t join the mini bus crawl can drop in and meet the group for a cuppa, a picnic, some making and recording. Watch this space for an update.
