a zine made with Mack Sproates and people in Whitley Bay
Washed Up was a co-created zine project led by zine artist Mack Sproates. We invited Mack to design a series of creative workshops with some of the people we met through ArtHouses in 2022, and the zine developed from these sessions. It explored themes of connection and interconnection in Whitley Bay- the ways we relate to our homes, the places we live, our art and each other.
We launched the zine, titled Washed Up, on the 21st January 2023 in Whitley Bay. This event was an opportunity to meet Mack and talk to them about the project, as well as many of the people who have contributed to the zine, and of course get your very own copy of Washed Up hot off the press.
The zine was distributed to workshop particpants and people who took part in ArtHouses 2022, as well as being shared through The Bound a local bookshop in Whitley Bay and in the bookshop at The Newbridge Project
We would also like to thank Debbie and Adam at Foundation Press for supporting the production of the riso printed cover for the zine and giving Mack an introduction to riso printing.
