ARGHHH>>>………. Some second year (you know who you are!) has, over the weekend, made a big installation in the space I am, sorry, I was going to use for my crit tomorrow. What a w**ker! Not only that but a […]
I think we are all getting quite nervous now. I have been struggling with my third book and it just has not been working. I realised in the process that I don’t actually like the character and find her quite […]
This is another post about a fellow student -Lisa Smith ([email protected]; smiffymax.wordpress.com). Again despite being on an Embroidery course Lisa’s work doesn’t focus on this but primarily involves drawing and weaving. She is producing wearable sculptures – objects that are […]
I have decided to order a greenhouse – just a little one. The sort that comes with a tubular steel frame – a bit like the frame of the gazebo we used at our Allotmenta Open Day – and a […]

The Lock gallery opens. I opened on friday…only a day late! it feels really good to finally be doing what i always wanted, now i just have to hope that it pays the bills! i've had two customers! I have […]
Last week I cut all the 45 dandelion flower and seed heads that have grown on my doorstep dandelion in the last couple of weeks. I have pressed them in one of the wallpaper books which I was using on […]
One of the "spin- offs" from the "Children of Craig-y-nos" project – and there are many, the most obvious one being linking people together who had shared the sanatorium experience as children and now they are senior citizens and meet […]
We were told your Degree Show spaces on Friday afternoon, at first I am disappionted with my space, as they have put me in the sculpture studio which is a separte building in the car park. But when I went […]
What a fumey studio. Everyone except me has been painting their floors at some point in the past few days and it's really giving me a headache. Not to mention the various 'injuries' i have acquired with a hammer, drill, […]
I had a good day in the studio space today. I worked on my drawings and also went for a walk. The idea for this project is drawn from an early teenage idea of wanting to be a bird. I […]
The last week was not very productive at all. I got a few paintings done early week but that was all. The postcard show took more time than I expected it to do. 2 full days in total setting up. […]
I'm very glad I did try out the installation, because it turned out completely different to how I imagined it, and it also gave me a much clearer idea of what, logistically, is going to be involved in doing it […]
Activities Today the National Marquetry Exhibition opens in Stoke on Trent. This is the show of the membership organisation ‘The Marquetry society’ so not something I am exhibiting in. I will however be at the venue tomorrow, hosting an activity […]
Three Weeks To Go No answers in Rhyl I'm afraid! Nevermind though because the installation is well on it's way, and thank God for the Bank Holiday because it gives me a whole day to get on with the tea […]

I've finally started to set up my space now, although this was hindered slightly by the fact that Channel Four were filming an advert for the University in the gallery for a while, and the place was awash with media […]
Amelia has organised 'Natter over the garden fence' ( a series of talks) which has crept up rather quickly. I'm impressed by her energy and drive to sort out such an ambitious programmme at short notice. Amelia generously offered lunch […]
