Well, a lot has
been going on. Our photography group recently had a discussion where we looked
at lots of different types of photography and I asked people what sort of
photography they would like to focus upon. Sarah said ‘natural’ and
Georgia said ‘close-ups’. We are going to take a field trip soon, taking pics, in
the Winter and Peace Gardens in town.
I met with
Stuart, a painter, in Asda café last week – he saw my advert in Five Alive
magazine, as did another painter Elaine who I have yet to meet. Both live on
Foxhill. I am going to help Stuart realize what he wants to do in painting – he
has huge artistic ambitions - much more to follow on this. I am hoping to work
with Stuart for a long time to come.
I have won a bid
to be part of Art Sheffield Festival Parallel Projects – I will hire a mini-bus
and conduct a subjective tour of Parson Cross, visiting some spots where some
interesting things happened when I was a teenager! Art Sheffield will publicize
it on their printed guide to the festival and their website. Great! I’ll
publicize this event nearer the time on this blog . The festival takes place between the 4th
Oct and 14th December 2013 – you can find out more about it here http://artsheffield.org/assets/art-sheffield-festival-2013/.
Kate Genever and
Steve Pool ran a great week-long summer school on Parson Cross. I attended the
whole thing and I gave a paper entitled Is Art Freedom? on the last day.
I learnt a lot and met some great people.
Plus, lots more
leads to follow. I may be running a
painting group at Foxhill Health Centre – please watch this space…
