Ongoing organisational activities

Jenny's discussions with Mansfield Museum and Art Gallery:. 

The Museum has the exhibition booked from 5th May to 2nd June 2012 and this gives us an extra week.  Setting up date to be agreed - between 30th April to 4th May - one day will be sufficient.

The Festival of Stitch is on 28th April and Kickstart items can be delivered there as usual.

The Museum would like photographs and/or drawings for publicity but not until January. 

The Museum will take 25% commission on sales.

The items made as a result of 'Kimono and all things Japanese' a part collaboration with 1623 Shakespeare Company will share the same exhibition space which should ensure an eclectic and exciting exhibition.

I don't have a smartphone but perhaps someone could let me know if it works?  We can add this to any advertising, exhibition posters etc and it will enable the viewer to read all about us...

Metabolic Images?

Metabolism

What happens to the body during exercise? Why is it good for us? How does all this tie in with diet?

Have a look on google images at Metabolism - there are some really interesting patterns produced by the health industry...

How is all that work coming along?

If any of you would like to share some images of works in progress, or ideas you are pursuing please get in touch and share with others - no need to wait until the exhibition to showcase your talents!

Thank you to the three people who have taken part in the survey so far. I would be really grateful if more of you would do so - click on the link underneath the slide show of workshop pictures - it only takes a minute or two.

Kickstart 2012-13

Whilst the next Kickstart will be about so much more than the written word, you might be interested in getting ahead of the game with a look at a current exhibition of calligraphy by the Northampton Scribes. "A Walk on the Write Side"

On my way back from a short holiday in Belgium I was determined this year to get to visit the Mackintosh house at Derngate Northampton, so with a considerable detour (involving getting to Kelmscott Manor in Gloucestershire too) we duly arrived in Northampton and managed to fit in the Northampton museum too. It is well worth a visit.
13 August - 9 October An exhibition celebrating the 15th anniversary of the formation of the Northampton scribes. FREE http://www.northampton.gov.uk/downloads/2011_May_-_Aug.pdf
