SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

YAYYAYYAYYAYYAY!!!

I got on the bursary scheme! Got great feedback from the chaps running it and have to pop in on Friday to hand over paperwork and whatnot. Will be up to £4000 over 36 weeks, with £500 worth of mentoring and seminar-type thingies to keep my bum kicked HURRAH!!! Get the first installment in December, so as soon as I've done my smithing I can invest in the tools and materials and get cracking on the new Connemara-inspired stuff I've got inmind for the exhibition - can't wait!

Saturday markets

Started the Saturday Arts Organisation markets last Sat - REALLY quiet!!! Sold two things, both to fellow stallers!!

So, need to publicise it amongst whoever I can think of this week, and see if I can get any of the Connectors to have a go - would probably be appropriate for Hannah, Gizella, maybe some of Beth's smaller pieces, perhaps Carl once it gets a bit more custom!

Anyway, will get on the blog and ask...

Beyond the Gallery....

...module needs to be looked at - already contacted Fashion BA lecturers to start the ball rolling to see if the Fahion Degree Show would be something I could collaborate on, i.e. be the jewellery designer/supplier for the show, so working in collaboration with the design students to create jewellery that fits their collections. Would be working to quite a tight commission I expect so challenging, but great to get stuck in once I've got my silver work going.

Will get back in touch with them this week, by Friday 9th.
