So on Thursday I took my first visit to Art in Action in Oxford.
I'd heard about it from a few of the makers I'd met at the Contemporary Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey, so decided to go along seeing as it was fairly close and the weather was going to be scorching!
Boy am I glad I went! Definitely one to write in the diary for next year. It was full to the brim of inspiration and such inspiring people, and the atmosphere was glorious.
I absolutely fell in love with Simon Griffiths Sculptures - of owls especially - when I was there, and thought they were so beautiful and realistic! (www.simongriffithssculpture.co.uk)
In fact I seemed to be attracted to watching a fair few of the sculptures in action whilst I was there, I think a really magical thing to watch coming alive.
I don't know how I'd feel doing art live, maybe something to build up to!
I'm Keturah, I'm a 23 year old student of BA Creative Arts & Design Practice. I'm a textile artist with interests in stitch, movement and psychology.
