Why do I ‘do Frieze*’? *I use Frieze as a bit of a catch all term for the fairs, events and shows in mid October London It makes me feel internationalI like to see what sells to who for what […]

OPEN DAY TOMORROW – TUESDAY 16 OCTOBER We became attuned to the weather on the allotment residency. Open Day tomorrow may have to adapt to rain. Sent emergency email asking people to phone if it is raining. Our photos are […]

LAST DAY – FIRST SEEDS SOWN I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to actually sow some real seeds! Although the last few days have been busy with preparations for Open Day, I’ve been anxious to move on with […]

Beijing Ancient Observatory The Beijing ancient observatory was easy to get to on the subway – at Jianguomen. A lovely and surprisingly peaceful place to visit even though it is now surrounded by large freeways. It was particularly interesting to […]

Cathy and Garry’s opening at Pickled Art Centre, Bei Gao Both Cathy and Garry have produced very interesting shows based on their experiences during the residency here in Beijing. They have made the work in an impressively short time. Both […]

it seems press and marketing deadlines are closing in on both sides of the pond, writing a press release for Writing Live is fairly simple, but we need to promote that at the same time as the education programme we […]

A Picture I am continuing to find new ways to work with veneer, usually by accident, so find myself beginning new work before finishing other things. A slip of the scalpel yesterday produced some lovely strands which coiled and twisted […]

Thursday morning I am waiting to go back to the Slaughter House; the butcher has called yesterday to say that he has all my ‘Crepines’ so I am going to collect them. I just got back last night from the […]

I LOVE MY ALLOTMENT A rope joined me to the mullein. We used garden canes to knit the string used in the survey of beds. I slept next to the currant bush and kissed the love-in-a-mist. Judith sewed me to […]
