UQA meeting at tynemouth 25.03.09

Hi everyone,

I feel quite tired after the meeting today because we went through so many issues. My head is full of plans of: materials orders ( ink, paper, plates ...), workshops, organising the space to work in and that is even before even thinking of the actual work we are to do in the space.
For the evidence log / notes on contact with our audience and possible feedback comments from anyone we come to contact with while at the studio;I may bring in couple of notebooks I have been hamstering over the years in my house for the group members to choose from.
Can not wait till next week to see the studio space actually becoming a reality. Although we already have a good idea of what they will look like from Rolf's scale models.
I am spending some time at Northern print, to refresh my skill in ething, although I have some plans o doing monoprints and collagraphs. I have looked into possibility to use different papers that I normally use.
See you all next week,
Raija
