31.12.2008The end of another year...

It seems it was only a few days ago that 2008 was the next new thing + i had to think about starting a new diary + transfering all of those birthdays again! As 2009 approaches what can i expect it will bring?

I already sense it may be a busy year, with already planned events, like weddings and big birthdays! There is something in the air that makes me think even more may happen, a certain suspense... It may be something to do with the credit crunch and the existing uncertainty that makes these times so charged and exciting. What this will be - we will only know this time next year.

Lets hope things keep going to plan [or close to them]

Happy New Year to you all!

10.11.2008Off to France

 In a few weeks i am off to France to take part in a Design Exchange. It's a bit like a french exchange - with designers!

This project is being curated by Charlie Arnold and is a collaborative exhibition project between 4 diverse designers who are members collective+ based in St Etienne and 4 who are members of Designed & Made from Newcastle in England. It is intended that this ‘design exchange’ will eventually be presented as a design showcase exhibition at Design Event, Newcastle 2009 as well as at the Université of Saint-Etienne for the Design Biennial 2010.
