Time's Up!

So I have been back in the good old U of K now for a week and it is back to the usual ways. I know I still have some USA updates to do but this week has been seriously manic. I just filled in my feedback form and project evaluation for the Arts Council England* and it always strikes me that when you are in school 2,000 word essays seem like such an uphill battle, but as an adult with an actual experience to write about it seems like barely a sentence.

Anyway, this was just a quick check in, thought I would share with you a picture of one of my day to day experiences, in particular a workshop with my 50+ Lunch Group's craft class. They were the first group I had after getting back and got the full benefit of my new artistic joie de vivre as they painted all the pieces they made in previous sessions. See, you're never too old to pick up clay work!!

So yes, I would like to say I will be back in the swing of things again soon but I am going on holiday next week so I will probably be just as random and erratic with posting as ever... but lets face it... thats half the fun!!

*Again, I would seriously recommend those of an artistic persuasion to check out their site and look at funding for the arts, they are an amazing organisation. 

What do I get?

Ok so its been super hectic for the last week so not really had chance to sit down and write anything, however I found out yesterday that I received my funding from The Arts Council England towards a course I am attending in Long Beach, which means I am now sat in LA and shall be in California until the end of July! Lots of interesting things to blog about here... I am staying with my artist friends Liz (who I did my internship with in 2009) and her husband Morgan, and their adorable and super smart baby Sadie. I arrived Thursday and yesterday we went to The Bunny Museum in Pasadena, but thats another story for another day as it deserves its own post!

But anyway, now that I am officially supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, I wanted to take the opportunity to point anybody else in the direction of the Arts Council if they wanted to make an application themselves or just find out more.

More exciting things to follow soon!
