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.

We've had a good mix of weather, got to meet a good mix of people and all in between our usual admin, as well as expanding our...

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.

It might feel like we're on the sun but it is still a week with work to be done, we just might be going at a slightly slower pace than normal - and eating more ice cream. Nonetheless it's been a positive and productive week and we've never been so grateful for air con at the Smithfield Works.

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.

Art shows and Lemmy coming home; sums it up really. Go take a look!

We've definitely met a lot of interesting people his week, from a local ceramicist to old press photographers and everything in between.

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.

Hey there, that's right after a little break, we thought that the beginning of February would be the prefect time to get back into it!

This might be a bit longer than normal but I'll do my best to summarise what we've been up to on our last week before our festive break.

As the exhibition deadlines creeps up, we've been focused on Let's Highlight, so check out what we've been up to this week.
