It appears that the relative calm I felt last week was merely delusional, as it’s full on proper stress time now. To complicate things, my boys are now on half-term from school, so the next couple of days will be […]

I can’t believe this is finally it…tomorrow is technically our Last Day! Or, at least, it’s the last day for handing in anything we’re not planning on exhibiting. After that, we have a couple of weeks to add finishing touches […]

We’ve recently had two visiting artists at college, Simon Woolham and Gurps Kaur. Both have been really interesting to talk to and bounce ideas off. Next week, we have a studio visit to Wysing Art Centre, in Bourn near Cambridge… […]

I wasted that £1.99, as my camera lead has now reappeared. At least I have a spare one now for the inevitable time when I lose the orginal again. Here’s a mock up of the domes I’ve been working on. […]

It’s the Christmas holidays and I’m in Full Time Mum mode. Today I’ve been helping my 8yr old make some stopmotion animations, which are pretty amazing. They involve flying socks and a cushion-eating blanket. On the last day of college, […]

December really does need a few more days in it. Family/home life is so busy at the moment and I really don’t know how I’m going to fit in any coursework, unless I give up sleeping. I can feel myself […]

Disaster has struck! My short experimental animations have somehow vanished off the college computer network. And of course, I hadn’t backed them up. I had hoped that the IT man would be able to retrieve them from wherever they’ve gone, […]
