I wish there was money in art. Then I could do it every day, forever. It was a lovely day today. I just immersed myself in art for the whole day. Eleven hours. Those public school students have long days … but I wasn't complaining.
Once Emma had shown me how to make two-part moulds from modrock I was away – feverishly making moulds of my beloved relics. I was desperately smoothing the last few strips when Charley came round to switch off the lights and lock up at 7.45 pm.
In an earlier interlude, I took a small group of Year 13 students to Cley church – a fantastic medieval church nearby. The students' brief was to gather information – sketchbook, rubbings, photographs and especially video – to work with over the next two Monday sessions. It made me want to start a new project based on Cley church: what a place! And they even had apples in the porch to help yourself to.
