The Blog

It’s been a whirlwind of creative energy lately. There’s been plenty of brainstorming and work going on behind the scenes this week and we can finally start to see some of them come together.

You can probably guess that this week has mainly been about getting everything ready for next week but that doesn't, mean it's not been fun and chaotic in the process. That also includes photographing an awesome (slightly mad) band, so get reading and see what madness we get up to when preparing for events.

It's been a wild ride this week, having spoken to and learned about some awesome people. We've been to Gladstone, to Alsager, got stuck (not really in Burslem) and even got some good office work done too. It's probably a little muddled but hopefully it makes enough sense for you to enjoy and read about our week.

It's been one of those weeks where we've been out and about, we've spoken to some awesome people and has honestly hammered home a sense of community that is slowly growing within the city. We've been to lovely nature spaces too, which have been really pleasant to visit and beautiful to photograph too.

This week has been a lot of more preparation for next month more than anything, don't worry we'll share more details soon. However, in between we've been meeting quite a few new people this week and got to enjoy a bit of exploring our local landscapes in the process.

A bit of a delay for last/this weeks blog but it's been such a creative and chaotic week, there was not even enough time to write up this post. Also it meant that we got to include the amazing Docile in this blog otherwise that event would've had to wait longer to be put out too. I've tried to keep it summed up and not too long... Enjoy!

This week has been a very much out of the office kind of week and it's been all the better for it. From greeting old friends to future murals, we've seen a wonderful amount of people and all for completely different and equally creative plans.

We've been to many places in the city this week along with many awesome people that we've met, so this week we're doing more of a shout out on this week's blog. It's important to shout about good people that move forward with purpose and just want to do good and interesting things for the city and beyond.

The rain definitely hasn't stopped us this week, we've been meeting up with lots of people, making new friends and new future collaborators. We've also been out of the city with our good friend and associate artist Alex and as an added bonus we've got some exciting news to share as well.

This week has been about a lot of brainstorming and a lot of just speaking to people and learning more about their crafts within the creative industry. It's important to take time to speak to people and just get out of the office a little bit.

So to start off, this week's blog will mainly be about our first HD Event that happened last Friday, as it's worth celebrating. As we've tick that event off our list, we've spent time trying to regain our focus on our other plans and getting back into the flow of different projects.

This week has been something of a slightly unusual week but it's has been so much fun and really has solidified a lot of exciting plans we've got coming together.

We have been busy making steady progress with our Portrait Project, as well as some amazing collaborating with Smithfield Works and more.

This week has been focused mainly on working to tick off some more portraits for Stoke, Everyday, in between other plotting and planning.

We've met new people and brought people together this week and it's been lovely - A lot of brews were had which is also a bonus.

It's been a busy couple of weeks but a really good couple of weeks full of interviews, laughs and updates.

his week has been all about reaching out to different sectors and meeting new people.

It's been another Warm This Winter based week but we've been making great progress and meeting some great people.

It's not technically about the project this week but it has had a positive impact on the plan it so It's worth mentioning.

things have been going really well with our Middleport Matters workshops with different groups as well as a few drop-in sessions.
