Made in Smethwick

A selection of images that showcase our Made in Smethwick project delivered in collaboration with DigVentures. Funded by the UK Community Renewal Fund, the project celebrated the rich industrial heritage of Chance Brothers Glassworks and Soho Foundry. Over several months, we brought together communities through a diverse range of events, including heritage walks, creative workshops, oral history recordings, photography projects, and a global lighthouse mapping initiative. These activities culminated in a celebratory festival, featuring performances, exhibitions, and hands-on activities for all ages. This gallery captures some of the activities that made the project so special, highlighting the powerful connections between people, history, and place.
