After a week we finally have our Studio camera in working order.
Behold! the last of our 2008 Diarys! Each cover is silkscreened on Washi paper. 30 were handbound in 3 styles by the wonderful Isabelle. Not many left!
Our First NIGHT AND DAY Project will be in support against the closure of the Glasgow School of Art Ceramic's Department.
Student Ester Svensson will be Co-Curating the exhibit and has been heading the fight against the closure.
"The Head of Design at Glasgow School of Art, has recommended that no new undergraduates will be accepted for both the full and part-time Ceramic degree courses, which will therefore result in the end of undergraduate ceramic education in Scotland. This decision, taken in haste without any staff or student consultation will have major implications for Scottish design, culture and tourism. As ceramic students of GSA, we feel passionately that there is a promising future for ceramics in Scotland and are disappointed that GSA lacks the vision and courage to support a profitable and innovative element of the design school".
As the 26th marks the end of Monsters In the Garden, Isabelle and i thought it would be great if we had another special viewing for Eric's fantastic work. Due to demand we will be available for Q&A about the current exhibition and other upcoming events such as NIGHT AND DAY.
Pictures from the opening night of Eric's first UK Solo Show "MONSTERS IN THE GARDEN". What a fantastic night, thanks to everyone who helped bring it together espcially Eric and Margaret.
