The River Coly Project was a community art project run by Anna Brewster and Alex Boon, from Umborne Bridge Studio.

Begun out of a desire to know the river that runs past our studio door a little better, we walked the banks, documented the wildlife, recorded the history and stories told to us by local residents and finally mapped out the river and illustrated what had been seen along it with the help of many willing local artists. This is the result.

GALLERY

We’ve created a gallery of images of the final project, hanging in the studio at Umborne Bridge - and it looks magnificent. With huge thanks to all who participated in this project with us and made it the community-wide event that it was.
