Shipley seeking inspiration

The Shipley Art Gallery is seeking inspiration from local residents for a new piece of art work.
The Gallery is working with ceramic artist Paul Scott to create an artwork about the regeneration of Gateshead. Learn more about the project here or visit Paul's Blog.
We are interested to see some of your special objects – in particular ones which carry some memory or resonance of Gateshead.
Whilst Museums and Art Galleries hold public collections of artworks and objects of significance, we all have our own personal ‘special’ objects in our homes – these may not be particularly expensive or valuable (in a monetary sense) but usually they carry specific memories and associations for us.
The objects might be made of ceramic, glass, metal, plastic or paper – photographs, pictures, books. The objects may be connected with the town – they may have been made in Gateshead, or be a souvenir of a special event here. They might also be very personal, with no obvious connection – but we are still very interested to see them and hear the stories associated with them.
If you would like to be involved by sharing your objects, upload your images here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/shipleycommission/
