After a fantastic time last year it's back! Summer Art Rammy 2008 sees children and young people taking part in workshops and events with the arts organisations involved in the Trongate 103 development. Young people aged 8-16 years from across Glasgow will take part in activities such as darkroom photography, filmmaking, kinetic sculpture, printmaking and music. This includes Street Level's involvement in the Print Trail Workshop on Saturday 12 July, where attendees can take a walk through Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, Street Level Photoworks and Glasgow Print Studio, incorporating drawings made with Sharmanka into photographs in our darkroom and then into colourful screenprints next door in Glasgow Print Studio. The Shadow-Fix Workshop on Sunday 13 July will involve the three organisations in assisting participants to create life size photograms and a large wall based print work using projected shadows, shapes and figures.
