German biosphere and a solar boat..
In this month I have made my first 10 teapots. I found I had to keep an open mind not to try for a particular shape, I want to have only the weight of 1kg of clay as a point […]
Cranky week to happy week. How did that happen? First of all, there’s a pretty good chance I might get what I wanted all along. Now that usually makes most people happy! Monday morning chats in the cafe at Henwood […]
June will see the last printed a-n Magazine. For me this will be a particularly sad occasion as I set up the original ‘Artists Newsletter’ way back in 1980. It’s also a breath of fresh air – a chance to […]
Bit of a breakthrough today on my new GYO*BYO project and it now seems to be coming together really well. The donation of a enormous bag of coloured hosiery has cleared the way through to solve some of the materially […]
The Fear Hoping to get onto the CargoCollective http://cargocollective.com/ website for creatives… just as I was cooking up a page I realised I had only two completed projects. That ain’t good enough! What an oversight. I’m working out how to […]

Artists international development fund launches new chapter in the relationship between the Arts Council England and the British Council.

It’s now actually 1.30am and I have finally finished writing a piece of text about Nicola Fosters lecture last Wednesday. It has taken me about 5hours but it has been a worthwhile activity. Now what I really did today was […]
On Friday I visited the Dulwich Picture Gallery (designed by Sir John Soane whose museum I visited a couple of weeks ago) and the Victoria and Albert Museum as part of the research I am doing into different gallery spaces. […]
As 29th Feb is a special day I feel that I really should be doing something different and just a little bit monumental today. Having just stupidly nearly incapacitated myself trying to demonstrate a tricky yoga pose whilst at the […]
