Ness Would Like To Join Us

I’ve just moved to Tring from Manchester via Cambridgeshire (where I had a gallery, etc and was involved in the arts up there in the Fens etc).

I am interested in becoming a member of your group.

As a bit of background:

I won the David Bellamy prize for sculpture a few years back, and also do photography (taken people as random as Pavarotti, Rick Astley, John Hegley). I part own a production company. I do a lot of PR consultancy work and also work in licensing (office in london). I’m working on some illustrations for two different comedy gift books at the moment (along with everything else!). Plus some visuals for a Green website, etc.

I’m doing a Drypoint course at the weekend as a friend’s studio in Cambs, so am keen to add new skills too.

I look forward to hearing from you

Best wishes

Ness

p.s. I’m interested in trying Raku, which I haven’t done yet. If Gas runs courses or does midnight firings!?

Workshop in Woodland

tringvisualarts — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:29:11 +0000

I have been looking for a workshop place where I could hire. I would like to build a kiln and a small studio. A small woodland on a steep hillside would be ideal for me.

Please visit my website ‘Anagama‘ and contact me if you have any helpful information.
