15 traders lined up to come on Sunday from fine art to vintage. Set to be a great day, come down to Church Square at the bottom of Putney High Street.

Local artist, Amy Pennington has been commissioned by Tideway (the company building London's new super sewer) to produce artwork for a hoarding at Putney Pier and is inviting the community to help her create a new piece of art inspired by artefacts washed up from the River Thames.

For fourteen days Amy will be hunting for items on the foreshore – also known as ‘mudlarking’ - at low tide and sharing her findings on Twitter. Alongside this there will be a series of four workshops to get people involved in mudlarking, drawing, sculpting, discussing and creating the work for the new hoardings.

The first workshop will take place on Sunday, 13 August, starting at Putney Pier at low tide, where members of the public will be able to try their hands at mudlarking with Steve Brooker, star of the History Channel show 'Mudmen'.


Recent exhibition of Amy's work

Amy said: “The river holds many stories and found objects allow us to peer into that past whilst making us think about our future. I am looking forward to working in Putney, meeting people, hearing their stories and working together on this new piece. There are many complex and compelling stories connected to the river in this part of London and I hope to make some of them visible.”

Further workshops will take place at St Mary’s Church and will involve a 'drawing the river' session with Amy, a hands on session exploring the Battersea Arts Centre's (BAC) Moving Museum, and a session dedicated to archiving all the finds and stories.

All workshops are free and there is no booking necessary, however places will be filled on first come first served basis.

To keep up with Amy's foreshore finds, follow the hashtag on Twitter.
