JULIET- Here are some photos from the opening of show one ‘Descent Into The Maelstrom’ and of B-movies in the fridge gallery the next day. Sadly none of the afterparty at which within the refined confines of the Research Club, […]
Liverpool Carters (the last men to have worked with the teams of dock horses) needed an expert equine sculptor Judy Boyt was the obvious choice. Her Liverpool brief was to design and sculpt a life size statue to commemorate the […]
Spent some time looking at Eero’s work on Facebook: when you’re there, tap in Tukk and you’ll find it. He finds pictures that people have uploaded and Photoshop’s Tukk into them, sends them to the owners of the photos and […]

I’ve just completed the second leg of the project to establish European Regions of Culture. After Poland I contacted the Higher Academy of Happiness and they thought it was a good time to get involved. They had specific concerns about […]
Veronica is in Wales at the moment, studying Welsh on an intensive four week course in Aberystwyth. She managed a day off to see some of us, and Pamela came over especially from Ireland to join in. (Our thanks to […]
and then…..after the meeting in Harlech yesterday afternoon, Pamela and Alison headed rapidly eastwards over the mountains towards Bala and the last evening of the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol. The logistics of the day’s travelling meant we didn’t get there until most […]
