Maker: Lina Peterson
Graduate Placement: Viv Wilson
Lina Peterson’s residency was based at Kingshurst
Library in the north of Solihull as part of a project to
increase community involvement in the arts. Lina is a
jeweller who uses a playful approach to materials, colour
and form backed up by research and drawing. She used
her experimental methods with the group to create
dramatic jewellery using leather, wire and felt. Lina was
supported by Viv Wilson, a textile graduate who has
developed a woven piece in response to the landscape
around Kingshurst.

A community project and exhibition.
Making Moves, Creating Futures for Craft
Making Moves is a West Midlands craft development initiative
involving four regional partnerships, led by Staffordshire County
Council and Craftspace, a Birmingham based craft development
organisation. The project consisted of nine craft residencies
which took place in community settings between September
2011 and July 2012, culminating in a touring exhibition.
The nine makers were challenged by residencies in unusual
workspaces - including a hospital, a pub and a park visitor
centre - which acted as sources of inspiration to develop ideas
for new work. They worked with local communities, offering
making workshops that were high quality, inspirational and in
some cases, life-changing. The exhibition showcases new work
by the makers in response to their residency setting, as well
examples of tools, materials and work created in the community
sessions.
The project also provided opportunities for nine crafts graduates
who supported the community making sessions as well as
receiving mentoring from the resident maker. They were given a
small bursary towards the development of their practice and
have also created new work for the exhibition.
Making Moves aimed to provide valuable opportunities for
learning. Makers gave masterclasses and lectures to Higher
and Further education institutions as well as talks to the wider
community. They wrote about the residency experiences on a
project blog, as well as coming together for regular networking
sessions.

Blonde gives knowing glance over her shoulder as two males make their move. This mating behavior of the human male observed at private party at a sculptor's studio after the "Body of Work" reception at Artel. Downtown Pensacola night life at its finest.
This photo has a custom-made frame, made by using the clone tool in Photoshop and selecting and copying (cloning) the quilted patent-leather texture of Elena's black purse on layer after layer, then flattening the image before saving. I like the patent-leather purse but the best part, I think, is that it starts to suggest lizard-skin when taken out of context just this slightest bit and used as a frame for the whole picture. In retrospect, I wish I'd made the frame even wider all the way around, and made it deeper still at the bottom like the way an old Polaroid picture is self-framed. And if I were to frame it and hang it on the wall, it would be even cooer if I made a quilted-patent-leather actual frame -- all puffy, you know -- the real stuff. But a little more to this frame would have been nice. It was a lot of cloning, as it was, because there's not that much uninterrupted area to clone from. I used several different brushes, and on the different layers, I varied the degree of transparency, to make it more than just the patent-leather texture. Something more animal, more wild, more grunge. Less regular. Filename ~NightMoves_fm.jpg

A community project and exhibition.
Making Moves, Creating Futures for Craft
Making Moves is a West Midlands craft development initiative
involving four regional partnerships, led by Staffordshire County
Council and Craftspace, a Birmingham based craft development
organisation. The project consisted of nine craft residencies
which took place in community settings between September
2011 and July 2012, culminating in a touring exhibition.
The nine makers were challenged by residencies in unusual
workspaces - including a hospital, a pub and a park visitor
centre - which acted as sources of inspiration to develop ideas
for new work. They worked with local communities, offering
making workshops that were high quality, inspirational and in
some cases, life-changing. The exhibition showcases new work
by the makers in response to their residency setting, as well
examples of tools, materials and work created in the community
sessions.
The project also provided opportunities for nine crafts graduates
who supported the community making sessions as well as
receiving mentoring from the resident maker. They were given a
small bursary towards the development of their practice and
have also created new work for the exhibition.
Making Moves aimed to provide valuable opportunities for
learning. Makers gave masterclasses and lectures to Higher
and Further education institutions as well as talks to the wider
community. They wrote about the residency experiences on a
project blog, as well as coming together for regular networking
sessions.

Residency:
Corbett Hospital

Maker: Charlotte Hughes-Martin
The Stourbridge residency took place at the Corbett
Hospital, named after the original benefactor William
Corbett, the glass manufacturer. Glass artist Charlotte
Hughes-Martin collected family memories of the local
glass industry from visitors to the hospital and then
engraved them onto glass objects which they could take
away. She and Robyn Smith also taught engraving skills
to members of the public.
