Visitor to my studio window sill today - kestrel, I believe? So beautiful 🧡
I lost my studio back in August but excited to say I have found new studio with arched window >> new view😍! Hadn’t realised how sad & lost I’d been feeling without it. Here’s to a creative 2026 ✨. #sculptor #studio #artist #artiswork @royalsculptors.bsky.social
Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

‘Emerging artist’ opps -how chrononormativity isn’t natural law but is biased against later starters (me☺️), minorities with different financial pulls + women or other carers. It’s a cultural/institutional imposition that should be resisted. #emergingartist hyperallergic.com/1042641/when...
When Artists Are Too Old to Be “Emerging”
If the art world is serious about equity, it has to stop equating emergence with youth and start building structures that reflect the multiplicity of artistic timelines.

Lovely to meet up in person with @royal_sculptors members at @vam_east to view the collection. We all agreed it was a valuable resource when trying to design crates and supports for shipping work! Photo credit Tere Chad #sculpture #v&a #royalsculptors

Creativity is process… a series of often messy, wonky connections that suddenly coalesce into wonderful. Artists/ creatives are skilled in this process of unique originality. Because it’s not just seeking outcome. #art #creativity #ai
Joel Morris@gralefrit.bsky.social · last yr.This is a fundamental realisation that it took me years to come to. The enjoyment of art comes from the countless hidden decisions that were made slowly, which you as an audience enjoy quickly. The speed of consumption renders the craft invisible, magical. Creation at speed can’t do this.
This week I have been collaborating with the @royalsculptors.bsky.social x6 post on Instagram showcasing recent residency in Wick, Somerset. I experimented w sound & explored the voice & its gatekeeping, through material & performative acts. Much to now develop.. www.instagram.com/juliebrixeyw...

Please take moment to read.. it’s not what you see on TV… but instead the quiet person unable to wave or shout. Question them/ask… you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. Usually people playing in water make noise. When they get quiet, you must get to them & find out why. #signsofdrowning

Trish Greenhalgh@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social · last yr.Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...
These amazing biscuit designs absolutely brought me joy this morning. Bravo @ellamchawk.bsky.social 👏🏻💐💥
Dr Ella Hawkins@ellamchawk.bsky.social · last yr.Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years.

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment and trying to get back on my feet with my workshops & Etsy. If you could maybe RT my new creative & mental health workshop (previous few posts today,Friday 25th) it would help so much to show it to a few more eyes. I'd really appreciate it, thankyou 🌿
What a learning journey… Started fabulous Field Recording course by Marcus Leadley in Jan, invested in kit & now been selected to develop & experiment my ideas on Royal Society of Sculptors residency “Awakenings”. Fab to have time to push things forward (& make a few wonky things along the way☺️!)
Lovely to have an in-person @royal_sculptors gallery trip to Saatchi to see work by members who gave talks about their works, textiles by Anne von Freyburg & on to Serpentine for Giuseppe Penone. Always so good to exchange ideas around Sculpture. #sculpture #contemporaryart
