Ecology NOW

This A-N Bursary Time Space Money will allow me to work closely with Lapworth staff responding innovatively to the museum’s fossil collections. It will enable me to explore the environmental potential within my work through collaboration and learning new techniques.

Glass Convert

Had the most amazing four days in Stourbridge, feel so lucky that the International Glass Festival was in the Midlands and that I was able to attend. What a buzz! So many creatives in one place and everyone was so open and friendly. It feels great to have made connections with artists from other parts of the UK and abroad and I am certain we will all keep in touch.

Eunsuh Choi was a great teacher, I learned so much from her that I haven’t even begun to digest it all. From now on I’ll consider doing technical drawings as preparation for all my 3D work, it’ll help me to explain my ideas to fellow collaborators. “Slowly, gently” and “any progress is still progress” and “small mistakes are easier to fix” and best of all “I should channel my inner OCD!”

Marbles

I am ridiculously happy about the fact I made my first glass marble! I have been going to the Ruskin Glass Centre in Stourbridge to grasp the basics of flame working sometimes called Lampworking. Rich Evans has been guiding me and he’s given me a few things to try out in my studio at home. I think I might be addicted to glass, it’s such a beautiful and versatile medium!

Roll on the Masterclass a whole four days of glass with instructor Eunsuh Choi. I am super excited to learn techniques that  I now know would work for a couple of my sculptural ideas. It’s will be a great opportunity for networking too. Going to the Ruskin feels like being back at University with the workshop facilities  and the buzz of a community of creative people.
