FRANCESCA CELLO

 

Francesco Cello started experimenting with black and white photography during her fine art degree in Sheffield over thirty years ago. This enthusiasm for low tec. image making continued during several years of teaching in a further education college. Francesca taught general art and design subjects including screen printing, contextual studies and black and white photography. Both her students and Francesca enjoyed the experimental unpredictability of camera-less photography. Francesca recently completed an M.A. at Plymouth Arts University, where she used film, photography and sound, to make her artwork which was based on personal and historical themes.

 

The Festival Experience

The First Spark festival offers a rich series of events with creative workshops, radio experiments and community engagement activities. The festival is supported by Multiply and Skills for Life. It's the perfect opportunity for us to connect with people who love art and creativity with a curiosity to learn new skills.

This year we are thrilled to be stepping into Birdwood House in the heart of Totnes on Saturday 1st February to run a day of workshops in DIY musical instrument making, meditations on silence, and singing. We will be going out into the Civic Square to meet local community members through a Street Survey led by volunteers and programme makers to ask residents how often they listen to Soundart Radio on FM.

On Sunday 2 February, Soundart Radio hosts a free First Spark Radio Theatre Day on the Dartington Hall Estate. 

Our new studio in Higher Close that we moved to in 2024 is a haven for music, craft, costumes, and playful performances. We have a beautiful dance floor, stage and DJ booth now built. The bar will be serving drinks and offering free lunch. Come dive into this artistic journey, shake off the winter blues, and embrace the vibrant energy of spring.

Don’t miss out on this inclusive, transformative experience—it's an opportunity to unveil your creative potential and perhaps even spark a new radio show.
