moving house is bad. never mind losing the thread, I've lost the whole reel. It'll be in one of these b***** boxes… Service will resume shortly.

I have come across several accounts of children who tried to run away from Craig-y-nos, were caught and punished. But only one who actually succeeded. In fact she was a young woman. Her "escape" was remarkably easy: she simply walked […]

The last couple of days have felt quite productive; after a first attempt at videoing a cocktail umbrella outside (which was one of the few times I’ve found myself wishing it would rain!), I had a tutorial, during which I […]

Get a 4b pencil and a wee bit of paper and construct some sort of rudimentary launching device to propel the graphite rod unit onto the 'paper' and thus play the neo-artistic form of 'extreme markmaking' (ism), My mate terry […]

Its been a few days since my last entry. This is mostly due to having visitors to stay and now being back in full flow of the final term. Scary. I calculated yesterday that there are seven weeks left until […]

It's official I'm living in this studio. I'm tired and need to go home. I will go home… but I've still not left this studio yet. The problem is that everyone is making amazing work and having openings. Of course […]

TUTORIALS Today I did some tutorials with the printmaking students – enjoyed this in spite of having a heavy cold. First years are preparing for their Exhibition on Monday and third years getting ready for the Final Show. I noticed […]
