Passers by could also watch artists creating new work and get tips and advice about creating temporary art in nature and had a chance to create their own art on the beach.

Yestetday, Sunday, 10 September, the theme of the day was land and the venue shifted Sewerby Hall and Gardens, where artists such as Richard Shilling, Julia Brooklyn and Mark Anthony Haden Ford created some unique displays.
