Since I last posted Ashi has begun work on the charm bracelet project. This is a very modified banners project (see the original briefs at the begining of the blog). Ashi is a jeweler who is involved in the next exhibition at the Hub - 'Here and There'. She is working with various groups of people who will each make a charm. These will decorate a 'tree' in the shop leading up to christmas. Then using these charms as inspiration she will make a silver wearable charm bracelet as a gift for the Hub. Ashi has started work... Hi Ben! Sorry for the delay. I am still waiting to confirm dates for some of groups. So far as follows 16/10/03 - reflections 21/10/03 - grinter house 23/10/03 - reflections 28/10/03 - grinter house 2/11/03 - sleaford land art grp 16/11/03 - open session 23/11/03 - open session (-to confirm dates; HUB staff, nocton, school teachers, civic trust, leisure centre and the youth grp.) I have taken the first group, and I think it went well. Need to speak to Nick tomorrow. I hope this is all you wanted, okay? If not, shout me! Best wishes Ashi Peter Fraser has delivered some great photos, some particularly nice ones of the opening, of all the craft grandes dames and their Miu Miu shoes. He is just back from Liverpool and photographing Electric Wig in their natural habitat. I am meeting up with him next Wednesday to go through the contacts. We want to work up a proposal for a book of his images of the Hub and reckon we need to get on with that or everyone will lose interest. Boehm and Lang have had a feasible quote for building their mobile for outside the building which is great. Time is trickling away however and we need to get on with firming up the proposal for planning permission or that February deadline will become less feasible! Brigid and I are working on the publicity for our project in Manchester so feel free to check out www.exploreexpandexchange.net |
