Artist in Residence - Earl Spencer Primary School - Contours Yr 4

Year 4 were looking at mountains, 

maps, contours and landscapes

we painted cardboard to make 3D contours

and made prints

which expressed

different levels

and landmarks.

We worked at break neck speed

as we only had an afternoon together

Happy Endings

In October I was delighted to attend the Northamptonshire Community Foundation's Annual Award Ceremony as two projects I worked on had been nominated - New Vistas, Wider Horizons for Back To Books was nominated for an outstanding contribution to the community in the field of Arts, Sport and Culture

and the Wellbeing Walks / Mapping Project by Beanfield Artists - (Jo Dacombe and I) was was nominated for an outstanding contribution to the community in the Transforming Lives category. We were happy to be there to celebrate with all the worthy winners!

The Green Patch "Art in the Sumerhouse" project has come to it's conclusion with all the art works having been installed and a great party on the site last Friday. You can see what we made on the Miles & Dacombe Photo Stream

Beanfield Artists "Light Walks For Dark Days" Project will be concluding in December and our exhibition of the project will open on Thursday 20th December and run until 6th January at Market Street Mews, Kettering.  There will be more details on the Undiscovered Networks Blog in the near future. We are planning a splendid shop installation which will reflect the walks and interventions we have created since the project began last October. Jo and I hope to see you there!

Note to self - it really is time to....

 All pages stuffed to bursting and ready to post to Brooklyn on Monday.

I worry that things may tear, fall out or come unstuck

and that I haven't made this very easy to scan

but I've loved making it and hope 

others will enjoy it too.
