Attendees will have an opportunity to remix longform recordings of the Fellfoot Forward area\, including a stunning dawn chorus collected by Fellfoot Forward artists who worked with renowned natural sound artist\, Chris Watson\, in May 2023. Watch the video of the workshop. \nYou will be supported to create new work that inspires new ways of listening to the landscape. This could be any audio-visual or performed work (predominantly sound and music but also projected images/video\, spoken word\, and creative writing). We are open and interested in a range of creative practices at the event. \nThe day will combine presentation and demonstrations\, making and creating\, informal discussion\, listening and with plenty of space for solo and collaborative development of new work. It will be a friendly and accessible event where artists/creatives are supported to feel  part of a wider community of creative practice. \nThe produced work will be showcased at an event on Sunday 22 October at Melmerby village hall featuring the creative responses to the sounds of the Fellfoot Forward landscape. Audio works will also be broadcast on Fellfoot Radio\, an online radio stream. \nPlease note spaces are limited. Register your interest by emailing BlueJam Arts. \nThe Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership Scheme is led by the North Pennines AONB Partnership and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. \nThis event is part of ‘Everything Changes\, Everything Stays The Same’\, the Fellfoot Forward LPS community arts project for 2023\, which has been funded by Arts Council England and Westmorland and Furness Council. \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/fff-remixing-the-sound-of-the-fells/ LOCATION:Melmerby Village Hall\, Church Road\, Melmerby\, Cumbria\, CA10 1HE\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Art,Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Chris-Watson-workshop.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230719T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230719T163000 DTSTAMP:20260427T162915 CREATED:20230619T094126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230619T094126Z UID:10000449-1689760800-1689784200@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Pennine Way Champions waymarking training DESCRIPTION:Learn how to waymark on the Pennine Way from Heather Procter\, Pennine National Trails Partnership Manager and David Benson\, Countryside Access Officer.  The day will begin with a short presentation in Alston Town Hall followed by a 4 mile walk to address some waymarking issues in the real world. 19 July\, 10am to 16:30pm. \nSuitable for 16+.

Each of the nine panels will take 30 minutes to create. The roof will be installed on the pavilion at the end of the day. \nThis free event will take place outdoors\, it is accessible to all and no experience/skills are required. Drop-in at anytime during the day\, no booking required. \nThe pavilion is to be constructed in timber\, echoing ancient ‘roundhouse’ construction\, with hazel panels wrapped around the outside. All the materials used in the construction are to be sourced locally. The stargazing pavilion will be co-constructed with volunteers who will be making the hazel panels that will encase the green wood uprights and seating.

He specialises in creating spatial sound installations which feature a strong sense and spirit of place. His television work includes many programmes in the David Attenborough ‘Life’ series including ‘The Life of Birds’\, which won a BAFTA Award for ‘Best Factual Sound’ in 1996\, and as the location sound recordist for the BBC series ‘Frozen Planet’\, which also won a BAFTA Award for ‘Best Factual Sound’ (2012). Watson has recorded and featured in many BBC Radio 4 and World Service productions\, including ‘The Wire’ which won him the Broadcasting Press Guild’s Broadcaster of The Year Award (2012). His music is regularly featured on the BBC Radio 3 programme ‘Late Junction’. He has also worked extensively for RTE Radio 1 on series such as ‘Sound Stories’ \nTim Shaw \nTim Shaw\, originally from Cumbria\, is an artist working with sound\, light and communication media. Presenting work through performances\, installations and sound walks\, Tim is interested in how affective environments can be constructed or explored using a diverse range of techniques and technologies. Working with field recordings\, electronics\, video\, synthesis\, sound objects\, self-made hardware and DIY software his practice creatively appropriates communication technologies to explore how these devices change the way we experience the world. He presents work in galleries\, forests\, warehouses\, caves\, public spaces\, festivals\, museums\, through residencies and cultural events both nationally and internationally. Tim is a Lecturer in Digital Media at Newcastle University and the co-curator of the Walking Festival of Sound. \nImage credit: (c)Kate Humble URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/fff-environmental-listening-workshop/ LOCATION:Fellfoot Forward scheme area\, Cumbria CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/chris-watson-image.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230504T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230504T153000 DTSTAMP:20260427T162915 CREATED:20230428T101120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230428T101120Z UID:10000209-1683192600-1683214200@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Photogrammetry - training and volunteering DESCRIPTION:Do you have an interest in the historic environment and lead mining heritage of the North Pennines and a passion about its conservation? We have an exciting opportunity to volunteer with us and be trained in photogrammetry. Photogrammetry is an important method of recording historic buildings in a relatively quick\, but highly detailed way. Using photographs to create 3D digital models allows the tracking of any changes to the condition to the building\, as well as creating a record of any important features. \nThere will be a free two-day training workshop in photogrammetry which will teach you everything you need to know about creating 3D digital models of historic structures. The dates are 3 and 4 May. This workshop will be run by Jon Bedford\, one of Historic England’s photogrammetry specialists. The first day will be based indoors where you will learn what photogrammetry is\, how it is used\, and how you can create your own models. The second day will be spent on site at a historic structure where you can put what you’ve learned into practice while still working under Jon’s supervision and guidance. \nAn optional third day in August (date tbc) will be offered to attendees of this workshop to allow you to come back to Jon with any questions or issues about the process once you’ve had a chance to practice your new skills. \nPlease note\, spaces on this workshop are only available to North Pennines volunteers who have signed up to the photogrammetry volunteering role on Better Impact here. \n  \n \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/photogrammetry-training-and-volunteering/2023-05-04/ LOCATION:UTASS\, 9-11 Chapel Row\, Barnard Castle\, DL12 0SN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Training,Volunteering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/photogrammetry-model-example.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230503T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230503T153000 DTSTAMP:20260427T162915 CREATED:20230428T101120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230428T101120Z UID:10000208-1683106200-1683127800@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Photogrammetry - training and volunteering DESCRIPTION:Do you have an interest in the historic environment and lead mining heritage of the North Pennines and a passion about its conservation?
