One week to go
With only a week left at Artcore it’s all stations go with my printing. It will be sad to leave this little studio and Artcore but I am sure I will be visiting often.
I feel I have just got started with all the ideas that keep flowing through my brain. Just as I start on one idea I want to get it finished to start the next.
The studio is looking a little messier now too.
The studio yesterday
Working on the wallpapers is taking time and is a real test off patience. I am using old fashioned block printing methods to give me a sense of how Indian fabrics were made. It is more difficult than I first thought it would be and a lot more physical.
It has been really interesting talking and listening to people’s stories at Artcore. I have learnt about the partition of India, about the celebrations and the sadness involved and about religions and symbolism.

Dan Webber is an award-winning LGBTQ+ poet, promoter and producer based in Derby.
During his residency with us at Artcore, Dan will use the cabin to further expand on The Derby Witness, a poetry street art project written in response to the first Coronavirus Lockdown of 2020.
The Derby Witness comprises 49 lines of text submitted by members of the public, documenting their hopes, joys, fears and experiences during lockdown. Originally commissioned as part of Derby Re-Well Dressed 2020, this will be another opportunity for audiences to view the project in its entirety, discover what lockdown was like for members of their local community and to document their own experiences to be included in future exhibitions.
As part of the installation, Dan and The Derby Witness team will host free creative writing workshops and record new material in the space.
The Derby Witness is supported by the Derby City Council Small Arts Grant and sponsored by Cathedral Quarter Derby and St Peters Quarter Derby.
