slow revolution







Flooding sun, compensation days are here for all the gloomy winter behind us.

Got an email the other day from Andy Horn from Craftspace, a craft development organisation based in Birmingham, England. Craftspace seems to have a very fresh approach to defining craft and craft artists. Read more about what they do here.

He wrote about his new research project Slow, investigating the connection between craft and the slow movement (slow food, slow cities), a collaboration with artist Helen Carnac.

The project has a blog, and ask people to take part in the debate:
Making a slow revolution

Already revolutionary:
Bean Finneran, ceramic and colour

I saw a show of Bean Finneran's work a few years ago at a regional museum and was amazed and completely inspired!! Thank you for reminding me of this work.

What a great building, nice tree shadow, and look at those windows!
