First site visit to Pontypool!









It was a particularly chilly Friday morning, but donned in coats, scarves hats and gloves the second years of Photographic Art trooped on into Pontypool for the first site visit. A talk in the Museum, a visit to the Market stalls which they will be inhabiting, followed by a free roam of the surrounding area, Photo Art had a exciting day hearing and finding plenty of things to inspire and create a real buzz around the town.

Pontypool Project



Second Year students on the BA(Hons) Photographic Art course at Newport have begun a new and exciting project set in the Welsh town of Pontypool, some 8 miles north of Caerleon. As part of a large regeneration programme currently underway in the town, the students have been commissioned, by Torfaen County Borough Council, to develop a number of projects in and around the town. This blog will serve to document this project and the work of the individuals involved. It will be managed by the participants themselves and will include regular updates, news, images and any other information relating to the project.
