I was invited to do a Micro talk at the Barony Centre, CraftTownScotland (West Kilbride) as part of their regular Micro talks series. I will be having a solo exhibition soon at the Barony Centre and this talk was to introduce the work being made for the exhibition but also the opportunity to discuss the process of making, to share ideas with the audience and fellow speakers and to talk about the relevance of 'making' to the audience.

Given the relevance of making to the Craft town status of West Kilbride, they were keen for me to discuss my research interests, development of ideas through to the process of physically making artefacts.

The Micro Talk introduced my work and research interests to the largest audience of any Micro Talk thus far at the Barony Centre. The audience consisted of local residents and supporters of Craft Town Scotland activities and included designers, students, school pupils, architects, artists, Harley Davidson riders! and scientists to name but a few. There were well over 80 people in attendance and the talks were warmly appreciated. This will lead up to further audience interaction during the exhibition in May and a collaboration with the local primary school who I will be working with on their idea of refugees. The children's work, their own versions of my ideas will be exhibited alongside my own work in the exhibition.
