Fiona had a asked me to take a few photos of proceedings which was great fun, especially as there were so many friends and former colleagues from Traidcraft there. Here are a few of the pictures:

The Second Week of the Soap

January 25, 2013

Back in August, my friend - celebrated poet Fiona Ritchie Walker - asked me to shoot a cover photo for her latest book, The Second Week of the Soap. It was great fun doing the shoot, especially as the best type of soap turned out to be coal tar which brought back happy childhood memories of staying at my Gran's house.

Red Squirrel Press are holding a launch for Fiona's book, along with the debut pamphlet from Matthew Griffiths, How to be Late.

Date: Monday 25th February 2013
Time: 7pm
Venue: Lite...

Vietnam

November 22, 2012
I've just returned from a fantastic 3-week trip to South East Asia and am now sorting through the thousands of photos that I took on my trip. I'm hoping to add some galleries to this site over the next few weeks, but in the meantime here is a selection of pictures from Hanoi, Halong Bay and Cuc Phuong National Park in Vietnam.

Put Your Best Pencil Forward

November 21, 2012
Put Your Best Pencil Forward was a Big Draw project - a national campaign to encourage more people to get actively involved in drawing - run in partnership by Voluntary Arts Ireland and the Lewis Glucksman Gallery.

There were over 230 entries from all over the UK and Ireland which were displayed on the Facebook page. Curators from the Lewis Glucksman Gallery in Cork then chose their favourite 20 drawings to be exhibited in their prestigious gallery space later this year.

To my amazement ...

Twelegram

October 4, 2012
The artist Caroline Jaine has come up with a brilliant idea for an art exhibition. 'Twelegram' is a display of messages sent in by Twitter users from all over the world using the hashtag #twelegram. Caroline has made these messages into printed telegrams which are being displayed at Cobbles Yard Post Office in Cambridge from 4th - 20th October 2012.

I was very excited when Caroline tweeted me to say that my twelegram was going to be featured in the exhibition! Here it is in all its glory:

Schwellanangst - 'Fear of the Threshold'

September 21, 2012

This week, the Chair of our Board, Peter Stark popped in to visit us and we had a very nice conversation (and some lovely M&S bakewell tart biscuits!). One of the things he said really got me thinking. He told this little story...

Peter has always wanted to go into a betting shop and put a bet on a horse. He's a self-confident, extrovert, middle-aged older man [his words, not mine!] who helped develop The Baltic and The Sage, was awarded an OBE and ran a successful company in South Africa. So ...

September 20, 2012
It's that time of year again when we (by which I mean Voluntary Arts, the organisation I work for) are on the look out for groups from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales who can demonstrate 'Epic' amateur arts / crafts activity in 2011 - 12. This could mean improving life in their local community, working across generations, using technology in a creative way or simply achieving something really special with their artform or craft.

The Epic Awards are free to enter and groups have until 30...
