so great to have been able to have spoken to all of you one on one.

the studio energy has lifted. Please make an effort to work in the studio on days and times other than thurs.

More (on all levels) will come from you putting energy and effort into making things and reflecting on them.

please remember to play and experiment with your approach.

those tips again:

experiment with materials processes and approaches

reflect on and apply what you've uncovered - think about form, content and context

put energy into yourself and your work practice...

develop good habits so you can build momentum with and through the projects

make stuff - draw etc....

continue dialogue with your group and the greater group...
