Term 1 Dates Year 2 Thurs

Back to School!

Dear all:

Is it me or has the last few weeks flown by?

Not that I wouldn't miss the Saturday morning lie-in's, but I'm super excited to start the new year and catching up with everybody. It just wasn't the same doing art at home/elsewhere.

What advice would you give to the 1st years if you were asked?

See you Thurs!

How Can an Artist Bypass Galleries and Sell Directly to Their Audience?

Nice article on the Huffington Post by Clara Lieu. 

 

Lots of very practical advice. Specifically, sell on Etsy and maintain your shop regularly.

And here is a nice web publishing platform for artists, though it's down for me at the moment: www.cargocollective.com
