Crankies are a simple panorama often made from accessible materials. They are used as a storytelling format. One wet rainy day I came across a website http://www.thecrankiefactory.com/ as I was mindlessly surfing the net. It was a light bulb moment. I love them. This crankie is being used as an example in a school.

Tuesday and Wednesday this week is Open studio at FernArtz. All works produced go towards the Sea is Sinking art installation. All ages and abilities welcome – session is by donation with first in first served no booking needed – it is a fluid process.
