Client / Newcastle City Library / Newcastle upon Tyne / 2015

This free event which took place at Newcastle City Library on 11th July 2015, invited visitors of all ages to create and share augmented paper stories by cut-n-pasting content from the Newcastle Library archive, using both digital tools and scissors, pen and glue. It consisted of a structured workshop in the morning and a drop-in in the afternoon.

The following week, people’s work was displayed throughout the library through QR code: people could access the archive cut-n-pastes that participants had made by using their a phone with a QR code reader app (free to download), and pointing at the symbol with it.

The cut-n-pastes are still available at the City Library’s Commons Are Forever Flickr album and through the QR codes below.
