Leeds Discovery Centre

On the 9th of December some colleagues and I had the pleasure of visiting Leeds Discovery Centre.  It houses all the artifacts for the museums in and around Leeds.  We had a private tour from a fellow student who works there.  I saw it as an interesting day out and good resource and networking opportunity. 

Before the flu descended upon me.....

 and knocked me out for a week I posted my first reel onto instagram.  I'd been told that this was a great way to get more notice.  It worked, my account activity increased by 6355 percent and my reel had over 3000 views!  It was good to know that as I lay in my bed there was still interest in my account which is a valuable tool in the promotion of my work.
 Emily Stubbs talk 31st November 2021 We had an informative talk from a ceramicist called Emily Stubbs this week.  She has quite a bit of industry experience and was happy to share.  She talked about making your 'bread and butter' pieces to keep a steady income coming in.  Connecting to other industry specialists in your field and the art field in general,  She also recommended good places to look for advice such as the Arts Council and New Designers.
