I seem to be just wading through things at the moment, unable to shift a cold which has left me with a fuzzy head and aching body. When is it going to go away ??
Its been quite a busy 10 days or so, since I last posted so I wanted to put it down on here so I can keep some sort of diary.
The postcard exhibition I’m in at Fronteer Gallery, Sheffield has been on since 10 January, which is good that some of my work is out there. They’re very good on social media too for people who can’t get to see the exhibition.
I have been painting quite a bit – every day in fact, which is a achievement for me! Though, I’ve also had a lot of Admin to do, which is a pain in the backside..
Liverpool National Museums (NML) sent me service agreements for the 3 workshops I’ll be running for them this year. Each agreement was 13 pages long – quite a task to read with a woolly head, but each basically saying not to set fire to the building or kill any of the participants. I’ve signed and sent off all 3.
As well as the signed agreements, they wanted an image for their website to promote the first workshop –upcycled jewellery
This of course meant that I had to spend a day or so making samples of jewellery so that they could pick an image . They picked the simplest to make jewellery image after all that (see link above) but that’s fine. I’ll have to make a pile more samples nearer the date so that the participants can choose what they want to make rather than me doing a workshop teaching just one thing.
I haven’t sent off the application form for the open studio yet as I had to sort photos and build a website. That took ages and as I’m still waiting for the domain name to kick in, I can’t post a link yet. I’ve gone for the cheapest option for the website itself as no one really looks at them do they?
My poor aged laptop has been on fire the last week or so, so I hope there’s no more form filling or website building for a while.
Off to dose myself up again now and hopefully do some work…
