ab1017Hello everyone, please excuse the general email. I’m currently organising the relocation of my printmaking/painting studio to a new address in Kent. From 1 June it will be located at 58 High St, Otford, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN14 5PQ

 

I shall be wrapping and packing pictures for the journey next week. I’m selling Artwork at 25% off Marked Price before I go. You are warmly invited to call round  on Saturday 25th May, or Sunday 26th May from 1pm-6pm. Artwork includes framed and unframed pictures, drawings and original prints.

 

I’m downsizing so there will be lots of books as well!

Art, children’s and general, for a donation to charity (Tearfund)

 

I’m only geared up for cheques or cash (no cards), but happy to take spread payments if that helps.

I’ll put the kettle on while you have a  rummage!

Music, record shops, ants and art – all linked together in Oswestry!

If you’re out and about in Oswestry today, pop down to Outwhere Records on Beatrice St. While you’re browsing the excellent selection of vinyl, old and new, check out my print inspired by Neil “366 teeshirts” Phillips‘ band Awesome Zombie Ants, which has just gone up on the wall.

Where else but Oswestry would you find local bands, record shops, ants and art all linked together!

Get stuck in! Two-day Creative Business Start-up Workshop, May 28-29

Get stuck in! Two-day Creative Business Start-up Workshop, May 28-29

We’ve been passed some information about a free workshop, designed specifically for anyone thinking about – or in the first stages of planning – a creative business. It sounds like a great opportunity full of practical hands-on advice, all conducted in a group working environment.

The two-day workshop is offered free (funded by the European Union) and will take place in Shrewsbury on the 28th and 29th May, at the Gateway Centre, Shrewsbury.

The workshop is aimed at any creative individual based in the West Midlands, who is thinking about, or in the early stages of setting up a creative business (in arts, design or media). We will cover all the essentials around your values, marketing, branding, financial management, intellectual property, your legal structure (eg self-employed, Limited Company) and your networks.

The course is run by Percy Emmett who has extensive experience in supporting small creative businesses. Tea & coffee will be provided, along with copies of all course materials. Please bring your own lunch.

Places are limited and allocated by selection. To apply for a place on this course please register on the event booking site, here.

Any further queries please contact Creative Enterprise by email to cgoodwin@cad.coventry.ac.uk or by calling 07557 425418

The Gateway Education and Arts Centre is a purpose-built and well-equipped centre used for courses, training, presentations, meetings and conferences. Details about the centre including location, transport links and parking can be found here Gateway EAC.

Some recent participant fed back about the workshop:

“Thanks for a inspiring and invaluable 2 days of creative small business advice….up up and away!”

- Simon Marriott, Actors Resource Centre
