A strange day

The first part of yesterday was spent invigilating at Centrespace Gallery in Bristol, where Freya Cumming has a solo show on. Freya has filled the gallery with screenprints, including this absolutely HUGE print that runs the entire length of the gallery. Freya is one of the founding members of SNAP and you can read about her on their website. The show runs until wednesday and is open daily from 10-5.

The second part of the day was spent with this little munchkin in the children's hospital. My nephew had problems breathing, so I kept my sister and him company whilst we waited for him to get better. They had to stay in over night, I got to leave and go home, thankfully everyone's back home now safe and sound this morning.

Snap Studios

Last Friday I went to the opening of Snap Studios, in Bristol. Before the torrential rain started to come down I hung out in the courtyard at the back of the building, trying to get a photo of the balloons and the strange old wooden shed at the same time. I drank cups of 'red' juice, ate cakes that were decorated with green icing and failed to get to see much of the art due to the number of people that were there. I'll be popping back soon for a more leisurely visit.

I was invited along by Lucie Sheridan, i've known her for a couple of years, since she started bringing her screenprinted cards into the shop to sell and it was great to get to see the studios come to fruition:

One of the other studio members is Freya Cumming, who you may remember from my photos from the UWE graduate show earlier in the year:

Another UWE graduate is Rob Hunter, who is also part of Snap Studios:
