This #ATownExploresABook21 doodle project was inspired by Edward Lear’s The Nutcrackers and the Sugar-Tongs, the story of two remarkable items of cutlery that ran away with their imaginations. The artsteps virtual gallery was built out of offerings from the community during lockdown.

Artsteps Virtual Gallery


The #NutsAboutLear team comprised two ExploreTheArch artists, Hannah Collisson and Alison Cooper, and two members of our festival mentee programme, Erin Brookes-Doolan and Maya Coombs, all seeking innovative ways to explore Edward Lear's song promoting free expression of imagination. Their explorations of Lear’s words with the community feature in a stills gallery and virtual exhibition, curated by Hannah Collisson and Maya Coombs, supported by Esme Fisher.
Enjoy the gallery of doodles offered by members of the public.
