Slave for a day at Anita Bell’s workshop. Anita brought along loads of her inspirational art work and talked about ideas and influences. What a lovely lady ….provided loads of inspiration for the ‘workshopees’ who then went on to create very individual pieces using paper and cloth using a variety of stitch techniques. Very generous with her ideas and her resources. Great buzz in room from all that hand stitching! A pleasure to be there helping out, also opportunity for me to stitch and get some of my samples under way for my next module at college!

Great to get response from Barbara re her show at the Barbican in 1999. Still waiting to hear from the embroiderers guild on what they have from the exhibition. Barbara sent some lovely pictures and ideas of people to look at for inspiration! Feeling re-inspired to make more…..watch this space….my Pinterest board is growing!

Manages to make a silk elephant this week…..don’t ask why! Then more badges for next weeks Matthew Harris talk. Am now going to start making more books…..honest! Life class later so hopefully more inspiration will come my way!

Feeling very arty this week….two exhibitions! Love Hannah Hoch (should have an umlout but can’t work that out but I have worked out how to add images from the internet! I heart my iPad)
bit disappoited by Attia…great concept and clever use of mirrors but expected to feel more…….

Trying to work out how to upload photos……great exhibition. Very inspiring.

Lovely work and great talk by multi media artist on where she finds her inspiration. Comforting to know other peoples heads are like mine! Looking forward to being her slave at workshop on April 5th!

Give 10 artist/designers and 10 photographers an angle poise lamp and see what happens. Some quirky and thoughtful images and some great lamps!

5am group includes two small pieces by Alice Kettle. Worth a butchers.
