Weather report as of noon fri... http://www.weathercity.com/ie/dublin/ looks good.

The rules are simple...
we need a beach with lots of rocks,stones,or pebbles and can only use rocks,stones,or pebbles, as our building blocks, mosaics, patterns,coloured stones etc but these can contrast against the water, sand etc - no added bits of seaweed sticks etc
We take 3 digital photos....one of the general coastal area we wrking on, one of the process of constructing it-the people involved too, and finally a photo of the finished piece in all it's glory.

People can work in a group on one piece or do their own individual thing...

The final element is to write a poem or descriptive piece, can be funny,arty,clever,poignant depending on what the work, the day unfolds to us of max 500 characters and then upload to theVandA online website and await their display..

Jessica and myself and some friends did one of these down in West Cork (it's not uploaded yet as we still have a text to write with it, but it was a lot of fun doing it and we didn't visit the website beforehand which would have influenced more what we did) here's a pic of it before and after. See if you can spot the difference. Will include a third pic for scale.

May I suggest Bray beach and please note anyone not bothered with the rock art can draw as normal, can draw anyone who wants to do the rock art, whatever, it's just a suggested idea and we can all meet at 1pm at the Bray Sealife Aquarium
