A most excellent day culminating with the
private view at Camberwell – this was the culmination of the students work
manifest in a range of eclectic possibilities. it was great to watch the public become an
audience for their work. There really is no house style and I feel that we really do
endeavour to support the individual student’s journey which is as varied and
diverse as their backgrounds. As ever it
was really good to meet past students and to catch up with what they are up to.
The Camberwell Book Art Alumni have infiltrated and embedded themselves into
many creative positions across London and out into the wider world.
It was good to
meet Simon Goode who is the person behind the first ever UK book art centre out
in Hackney Wick - I see some positive things coming out of this.

The morning was
the final session of the creative carer’s project for Artlink at the coop
education centre in Ipswich. Interesting to be in the presence of people
battling for positive care experiences and then juxtaposing this with the
creativity taken for granted world of higher education - my notes include
comments like celebrating what you do - confidence building - small steps -
grasping opportunities - enriching the everyday - building on what is there -
having said that it does sound a little like one of my professional practice
seminars at nuca.
