    “Our Town” – A Love Letter to Fleetwood in Clay

    Adrian sat down with ceramic artist Michael Cassidy and workshop participants Sue Anderson and Diane Davis to talk about their experience creating work for This Town, the new community‑led exhibition at the Studios Art Gallery in Fleetwood Market. For Our Town, Michael worked closely with Fleetwood residents to capture the textures, spaces and stories that define the town. From the ridges of the dunes to the brickwork of old shopfronts, each piece carries a fragment of lived experience. His workshops encouraged participants to look again at the everyday places they pass through — the corners they love, the streets they grew up on, the landscapes that feel like home — and translate those impressions directly into ceramic stoneware. Exhibition Details Market House Gallery, Fleetwood Market 26 Adelaide Street, Fleetwood, FY7 6AD Exhibition Opens: 29 January 2026 Runs Through: February & March

    Sounds, Stories and Places

    Adrian Pritchard talks to Sound artist Rob Mullender -Ross and Fleetwood artist Omani Hanmer about the sound media workshops conducted at the studios on behalf of the "Pride & Place Project" funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Dr Rob Mullender is fascinated with sound, and its ability to mediate and make meaning within multiple contexts. He works with sound within its broadest definitions (not ‘just’ as music); a sensory, active, social medium, revealing different ways of engaging with people and place. These workshops engaged participants in building a sense of place through sound recording, listening, narrative and composition and weaving them into stories, impressions, histories, textures etc; creating works which build a sense ofplace through sound.

    Sounds of the Market

    “Sounds of the Market” — Sound Art by Adrian Pritchard Experience the vibrant soundscape of a bustling Fleetwood Market — the art of the deal, the rhythm of the haggle, the laughter, excitement, and everyday joy that fill this historic space.

Participants explored how sound can build a sense of place through recording, deep listening, narrative, and composition — weaving together stories, impressions, histories, and textures to create works rooted in the identity of Fleetwood. This installation was first exhibited in Fleetwood Market November 2024, accompanied by a video piece. These workshops formed a key element of the Studios’ Pride & Place project, funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

    Pride & Place Sign Painting

    Market House Studios interviews sign‑painting artist Lisa Wigham and Suzanne Pinder about the “Pride and Place” Sign Painting Exhibition, running until 29 March 2025 at Fleetwood Market Gallery The artworks in this exhibition were created by local participants during workshops at Market House Studios with Lisa Wigham, an artist dedicated to preserving the endangered craft of traditional sign painting. Together, the group explored the town in search of handmade signs — from cast‑iron lettering on grids, to masons’ marks carved into stone, mosaic tiles, and the faded ‘ghost’ signage still clinging to old shop fronts. These ‘sign‑spotting’ journeys led participants through Fleetwood’s historic architecture and hidden back streets, meeting people along the way and gathering stories of ancient and modern myths, historic events, and the town’s unique character. These encounters inspired the artworks featured in the exhibition. This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
