an interesting workshop this past week included bonding materials
with year 1 at NUA where we managed to work with various plastics, rubbers and
sublimation printing to create new materials.
It was good to go North for 36 hours to run book art
surgeries in Leeds at The Tetley as
part of Pages. Managed to cram in going to Laynes for tasty vegan breakfast in a
beautiful design setting, Bundoburst for Indian street food bursting with taste
and atmosphere, craft beer at Outlaws Yacht club and extraordinary cocktails at
a place I can't remember...... a quick trip out to Ilkley before getting back saw
a brisk wander around the moors which was a very different landscape experience
to my big sky flat East Anglia experience. I spent most of the journey organising
my talk for Turn the Page bookart conference in Norwich, still lots of
culling otherwise it would be a 5 hour marathon. https://www.turnthepage.org.uk/
Meanwhile watching Idris Elba DJ
in Turn Up Charlie.... it did its
thing, the episode at Latitude was fun, spotting the familiar areas, started on
what is a total mind scramble, the second season of OA. At the moment in wtf territory with seemingly random, visually
glorious acts happening without the support of a narrative. films Mule, too many dubious moments to let its
strengths fly and Mary Queen of Scots
looked great, the hair alone was worth watching it for. new podcast business wars has an interesting take -
so far Marvel v DC comics was fun with a few moments of insightful gossip..
