Artist in Residence

Making boats….

A CRB… that’s what I forgot to mention. LDT had sorted one out for me and it came in the post yesterday.

Now I can finally run some workshops without having a minder!



Getting paid obviously takes priority over anything else, so I’ve been taking as much of the recently acquired overtime in my ‘other job’ as I could.

Frustrating as it is to have to work extra hours in order to get anything like a ‘normal’ pay, I’ve just been stunned watching someone pay out over £400 in the Tate shop for Magritte goodies.

Oh to have money to burn like that!

In the meantime, when I’ve finished here today, I’ll need to get something together for tomorrow’s stint at the centre. … work there on my only day off.. and then get back to the day job : /





Studio space.

Yesterday, I posted a call out for artists to use the empty studio space ( for Free!) at LDT.

They have given me a few rooms to use as studio space, but because of my job, I can only be there one or two days a week, so the space is laying empty.

As one of the rooms is fairly large ( and has a sink!) I thought I’d offer the space out.

The building has plenty of parking space, is on the main bus route and is about 10 minutes walk from Leasowe station.

Still waiting to hear if anyone will move in…



Some publicity…..

Though – YIKES – why didn’t they use the image I supplied??
