The Nicholas Building

Overview

Since the early 1990s, the Nicholas Building has been a centre of arts, creativity and craftsmanship; in recent decades it has come increasingly under threat. In his feature length debut, Mark Newbound explores the importance of the Nicholas Building, and the creative processes of the artists it houses, through insightful interviews and meticulously observed portraits of craftspeople at work. In a lyrical and visually stunning style, Newbound showcases the skills behind contemporary jewellers, bespoke shoemakers and experimental artists. Featuring Anna Varendorff, William Llewellyn Griffiths, Nicholas Jones, Darren McDonald, Louise Macdonald, Jason Patterson, Paul Zika, Stephen McLaughlan, Marcos Guzman, Brendan Dwyer, Mary Burgess, and Vikki Kassioras
