Mill Farm arty week starts tomorrow - so the studio is looking clear and tidy. What ever the other outcomes, I have sorted through piles of collected detritus, thrown away unloved work and gubbins, washed the kitchen thoroughly, cleaned the toilet and sharpened about 100 assorted pencils.
The space is about as ready as I can make it before people actually turn up, so I went to the degree shows at Greys School of Art yesterday. I saw some fine original works and was lifted by the standard, though experience and the cynic in me knows that barely one percent of these young talented folk will still be doing 'art' in three years time. But still it is a great training and I felt the fashion and textiles were outstanding.
A desire to raise the bar in my own work is always there, teaching and painting. So I am paying attention to the details of the programme for next week, to give the participants the best opportunity I can to enjoy, be creative and learn.
