Artswork Annual Conference

This years conference, themed around “Connecting | Collaborating | Celebrating” took place at the BFI in London on 23rd October.

Fellow artist Tom Mortimer worked with me to deliver a high speed zine workshop as a teaser trailer of possibilities for teachers across the UK. In their allocated one hour they were given a ‘Zine 101′ introduction and then produced an 8-page zine.

Bus talk

Had pleasant meeting today with Gill Williamson, an ex-WSA student. She lives in Reading and is very keen to get some sort of communal artist venue off the ground. So we talked strategies and networking for a while.

The interesting part though was when she mentioned she’s been thinking that she needs a bus. An art bus. Most likely, an old library bus. Her collaborative public engaging art ideas are poking those possibilities with a view to see what arises.  Quite serendipitous really, as I’ll be collecting our new ex-library artbus in little over a week. I foresee more talks with Gill…
