Sea for Yourself open studio sessions at GROW with artist film-makers Kayla Parker and Stuart Moore

Friday 20th March 2026 from 5.00pm to 7.00pm
Saturday 21st March 2026 from 11.00am to 2.00pm

The open studio sessions at GROW are an opportunity for us to share work-in-progress for our Sea for Yourself Mount Batten Project, based in Grow’s ground floor project space.

Visitors can talk to the artist-in-residence about their work with film and sound; and they’ll show a taster of the 360 film work they’re making currently with the children at Hooe Primary Academy and the ‘green shoots’ of our short film poem, ‘King Tide’, which we’ve been able to cultivate through this residency – all focused on the Mount Batten peninsula, its heritage and maritime environment.

At the open studio sessions people can see:

• a taster of the 360 film, reformatted for single screen;

• a compilation of the 35mm sequences for ‘King Tide’, along with examples of examples of our previous, short direct animation film poems ‘Purling’, ‘Cadence’, ‘Flow’, and ‘Flora’;

• lightbox display of 35mm artwork for ‘King Tide’;

• wall-mounted lightbox of direct animation time-lapse 35mm artwork for ‘Sunset Strip’, the year of sunsets film commissioned by Channel 4 and the Arts Council.

FREE // ALL WELCOME.

King Tide has been commissioned and produced by Plymouth Culture for Sea for Yourself, with funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund Horizons programme and Arts Council England Place Partnership.
