In the run-up to the completion of the MA, I was of the opinion that life was about to become a considerably more boring experience. I envisaged long afternoons of kicking my heels and wondering what to do next. It appears this was something of a misapprehension, in the short term at least.
Since the submission of practical and theoretical documentation, I have delivered two further workshops. The first of these, to the Hulme History Society, explored use of projection with the I Remember boards, while the second, to visitors to the Wythenshawe Garden City Festival, used glass painting techniques to express participants’ ideas on the theme of My City Would Be Better With.

Of course those weren’t exactly unexpected but I’d somehow failed to take in to account just how much organisation they were going to take, and despite having received confirmation that I passed the MA with distinction (so am technically no longer a student) I am still involved at the university campus as I prepare to exhibit in the MA show.
A two part event, I will be installing next Thursday morning in time for the private view in the evening of the same day. Photos from that will follow, but in the mean time you can find a little more information on the university site (linked above) and on the site of the college where I teach.

In other news, I am beginning work on a new painted commission (I can justify spending a bit of time on that now!) and am investigating a few new avenues with regards to organising further workshops. I am also looking into setting up an artists’ networking group in Manchester; for fairly selfish reasons, in that I am hoping to continue benefiting from interaction with a peer group – the thing (apart from studio access) that I will miss most about university life… So; though things may certainly have become less structured, in that I will not be working around term dates and tutorial time tables, I certainly have enough to save me from idle moments... For now at least!
