Creative Futures.

Monday
On the Monday we all attended the opening ceremony for Creative futures and really enjoyed the first talk with Bedwyr Williams then I went to the Intellectual Property with Dafydd Evans which was really helpful but I'm looking forward to researching more into this and having Cerys explain everything more in depth. Next I went to Jenny Barkers lecture on getting commissions  and stayed for Steve Hitchin's talk, i loved his sketchbook work and it inspired me to record all my ideas more in my sketchbook.

Tuesday-
Today I went to a lecture on the National Theatre Wales & Collaborative Arts Practice but I couldn't see how it really related to my course and should have picked a different lecture. The last lecture I went to was Kate Hamilton Hunters on her Jewellery business, It was interesting seeing inside her business but her work wasn't to my taste.

Thursday-
I attended 'running a bespoke craft business' by Gemma Roberts, I really loved hearing about how she's doing with her business only in it's early stages. She spoke about online presence and how she networked to get where she is which was an idea for getting my business started when I graduate. The last lecture I went to was Wendy Lawrence's seminar on her ceramic business, she was very down to earth and realistic about her business as she worked for a company in Wales too, this helped her invest in her business and now she only works part time.
