Hyde Indoor Market Art Project
Woodend Artists Richard Dawson and Jacqui Symons were commissioned by TMBC to work with people in Hyde produce a unique and unusual artwork to promote the many stalls hidden within the Aladdin’s Cave of the Hyde Indoor Market.
The project was aimed at engaging the local community and market tenants directly in the creative process of designing and creating the artwork to give the final piece real meaning to Hyde Market and a true sense of ownership to those involved.
The start of the project focused on collaboration with market tenants to develop a concept for the artwork and resulted in the idea of 3D lettering artwork signage. This developed into using the letters to represent and promote the amazing range of unique wares and services available within the market.
Once the 3D letter design was finalized Richard and Jacqui ran a series of creative workshops at community events and with local groups including HCA and Bennett Street Youth Centre to create artwork to embellish the letters.
These sessions included mosaic, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture to create parts of the letters.
Tameside Local Studies and Archive Centre, The Tripe Marketing Board and United Cattle Products all got involved supplying fascinating heritage photos of Hyde, it’s historical shops and traders that decorate the letter K. (There were too many to include them all but a visit to Tameside Local studies Centre is well worth while to see more….)
After the community sessions the letters were made at that artist’s studio workshop at Woodend Mill in Mossley and completed by the addition of the artwork elements.

Two pretty peach plastic vintage buttons are combined. On top is a light pink or peach button, molded with flowers and swirls. It's paired with a deeper peach-colored button, this one thick with deep scallops.
One of my earliest E-bay purchases back in 2000 or so. I believe the seller's name was PatchFairy. The Button had gotten a bit dented in shipping so she sent me a free replacement. That was awesome. I gave the other one to my old friend Justin (Currently "Alaska" on RuPaul's Drag Race) back in High School.
This is an idea that has been rolling around in my brain for a while - embroidered buttons. Here are some examples of what I have started doing.

Spring really influenced my idea for this card. I cut a tree from a piece of brown suede paper....it's amazing how much this paper looks and feels like real suede. Then I added kiwi colored buttons that I laced brown with a synthetic raffia. I like the synthetic raffia here because it is shiny. I used a dot stamp on the background with VersaMark ink to add interest. A strip of white between the "hills" was added because they needed some definition. I stamped "thanks" in white and embossed it. I stopped there because I've found if you look at a card and like it, it's best to call it done. If you start adding things, pretty soon there is too much going on.
Once I got the basic design of the button down (let's call it a sort of square top hat) I spent a bunch of time iterating - making slightly different versions, jamming them in my pocket, and trying to get them to fault.
While I was doing this lilia was ninja chopping the code. We still need to develop how we process the signals. Signal processing, ah. What does a button press look like? How long should it send a signal for? How long should it wait before sending another one?
Because I never tire of taking pictures of my button shelf and because I reorganized it a bit.
I've got an antique mirror hanging on the wall beside it just because.
The shelf was build by my great grandfather. Repainted by me, Summer 2010.
