Teign Contemporary is a group of artists and poets working in a very special part of South Devon. Our love of one particular route, from Dartmoor to the Teign Estuary and Teignmouth, inspires our most recent project Unearthing TEMPLER WAY. Contemporary Markmakers have been meeting for over 20 years, and the Teign Poets also. We overlap in work and friendships, supporting ourselves and each other. This is a very special part of the country. And we are very proud of that. Now we are delighted to be researching and working our new project as we walk the Templer Way, sketch, write, collaborate, workshop, exhibit and perform our work. We learn together, bringing new ideas to the group and experimenting collectively. Sitting around an enormous table we have been known to mark a section of suitably enormous paper, then change seats. And mark a new area with paint or pastel or collage. And link the pieces together with colour and line, stretching over to invade someone else's masterpiece. It teaches us not to be precious or afraid. A mistake cannot be rectified but it can grow into something else entirely. Sometimes something magical.
