Welcome to our press

We had the opening of the Slade degree show last night, and it was a great success. Lots of people turned out and response to my exhibit seemed good. Hello to you especially if you were there, and thank you for coming. It was an exciting but peculiar event, I didn’t really know what to feel a

Another two books sold to UCL library

All four books that will be in the Slade degree show have been bought by the UCL library, which is brilliant. It’s good to know they have gone to a good home. Today I had a change of plan, and the table I was making to put the books on in the show turned into a
