It was a weekend of
mince pies, mulled wine and inspiring/inspired art chat with the various
visitors to WASPS open studios event at the weekend. Many of the regular
artists and craftspeople of Cannonwalls and Claverhouse opened their doors (see
the work of Ross and Jenny Fulton above), along with the two most recent
additions to the building – Emma Kerr (textiles and surface design) and KatieAnderson (small scale sculpture and istallation), both participating in a year
long residency within the WASPS building.
As recent
graduates, Katie from Brydekirk and Emma from Eastriggs, we have both been
settling in for the past four months – and this was our first opportunity to
open our studios to the wider public. It is an odd experience – opening up our private
spaces to lots of people to explore, but one filled with positive feedback and
friendly faces. Time to move - onwards and upwards, revitalised with a new
sense of direction and focus.
