AIRetc Residency

Ok so Its been more than a few days since my last post and things have moved on quite quickly in a relatively short period of time.

So a couple months ago I heard about an opportunity to take part in a residency programme at Edinburgh's Telford College (AIRetc) which in a brilliantly circular fashion is where I first embarked upon my "career" as an artist. The residency is open to former students at Telford who have completed one of the various art and design courses available, and provides studio space and facilities to those accepted onto the programme.

 So with this in mind I spent a week completing the application and proposal to take part and posted it off, having not had much luck previously in applying for residencies I didnt give it another thought until a week or so later I was bowled over to receive an email from Alan Holligan one of the lecturers at Telford offering me the residency for the first half of the year (Sep 2012 - Jan 2013).

Needless to say have jumped at the chance and have now moved into the studio with box's of assorted art materials in tow.

This residency programme is a really good opportunity to provide former students new and old with a platform to start off life after college and helping to build up your professional practice. Really looking forward to my time here.
