Chatham Vines

FrancisKnight were appointed by Medway Reniassance to work with international artist John Newling and London based consultancy ArtOffice to project manage Chatham Vines.
Chatham vines was a major commission to install and nurture a vineyard of 32 Pinot Noir vines grown hydroponically in St John’s Church, Chatham. Before the vines were removed the grapes were harvested and made into wine, some of which was used in the Easter Sunday Eucharist Service at Rochester Cathedral.
An education programme and limited edition hardback artist book documenting John Newling’s award winning Chatham Vines installation accompanied the installation.
