I did an Artist Tour at the Lapworth, I was really nervous having never done one before but it went so well. I discovered it suits me much better than the formal set up of a PowerPoint presentation in front of a dauntingly silent seated audience. I kept it chatty as if I was talking to friends, answering questions along the way. I guided them around using the Art Trail that the Lapworth had developed, another format which I intend to replicate and adapt in the future.
Feedback on the project was positive, I even had someone surprised that I wasn’t a glass artist. It was great to have creatives in the audience who were able to discuss and appreciate production processes. I hadn’t quite grasped just how many different materials and methods I had used until one artist exclaimed “you must have loads of tools, how do you store them all and find them”! Admittedly I struggle with the finding part but as a result of this project I feel more confident in my ability to master new materials and techniques.
