A word from Alice - studio stories from Alice Draws the Line

Yesterday I delivered eight poems to the Oriel Davies Gallery in Newtown, that I had written out in Brush Lettering.

I thought it might be of interest to talk through my process from the start to this point of this project as there has been so much that I have learnt.

Kate Morgan-Clare at the gallery approached me to ask if this was a project that I would be interested in before Christmas. They wanted eight poems written out to honour and elevate them as a celebration of their creation. The poems had been written by participants that took part in creative writing workshops with Emma Beynon - a writer and creative facilitator and Oriel Davies. The workshops explored a sense of place and that is what the exhibition of these poems is called. It will be running from the 5th to the 26th February 2022.

In early January I visited Kate at the gallery to discuss the project fully and to look at the space.
