We have had a busy few months in the studio and also out and about around Ludlow, there have been lots of elements to bring together for this first showing at Ludlow Castle as well as artists talks and slip casting sessions at Ludlow Castle and around South Shropshire.
We have continued to film local people as part of this collaborative story telling project, the film elements have developed really well and actually we are now looking at how we can expand this alongside the ceramic elements of the project.
As with all projects, it seems that the possibilities are endless and that the selecting, sifting and placement of this collaborative work could morph and develop as the stories unfold, also this work has the ability to be viewed differently according to where the work is sited.
I have been delighted to be part of some of our local art events this year like the Ludlow Fringe Festival, we were part of series of events to support and develop artists. We were involved in a new artist talk series called Anatomy of an Artist at the Blue Boar with Letter Press artist Dulcie Fulton and illustrator and animator Sandra Salter in June.
I think in terms of our own artistic journey and professional development its great to take a pause and reflect on practice, the highs and lows as well as compare notes and ideas with other practitioners. We all came away recognising the need to find other ways to partner and support each others work.
