Episode 5 with Tom Higham

9/22/2019
It’s one thing to understand the potential of art to impact our everyday lives, its quite another to provide the drive to make it happen. As an Arts Professional, Tom Higham facilitates festivals, art projects and events. His role is to link us, the audience, with the art. It’s an arts organisation’s job, he says, to find something that we can connect to. By his own admission, he coasted through education until the combination of dead-end job and volunteering at film festivals provided the...

Episode 4 with John Everiss

9/8/2019
John Everiss’s career is testimony to where deliberately contradicting a sibling can get you. Noticing his creative talent, his sister suggested a career in illustration. So John chose farming. The choice eventually paid off as lured back to more artistic endeavours, the well-rounded outdoor practical skills created the perfect balance for a multi RHS gold-medal-winning Garden Designer. This role, however, does not paint the full picture. John also turns his hand to sculpture, creating...

Episode 3 with Michael Eden

8/26/2019
You might think the worlds of pottery and 3D printing are poles apart yet for Michael Eden, the same thought processes are hard at work for both. Starting out on an Industrial Design course at Leeds Polytechnic, he spent years working as a potter making functional ceramics for galleries and retailers. It was the desire to create a website for this family-run business that gave rise to his fascination with the creative possibilities of code and a subsequent MPhil at the Royal College of...

Episode 2 with Paul Bonomini

8/11/2019
There can’t be many people whose careers mirror that of Paul Bonomini. As a multi-disciplinary designer, his output includes theatre sets, live events, conferences, visitor experiences, exhibitions and large-scale public sculptures. Paul is still developing and adding to his wide range of skills. His current focus lies in what, at first sight, appear to be opposite ends of the creative spectrum: bronze casting and 3D printing; yet his love of process, materials and getting his hands dirty...

Episode 1: Jo Fairfax

7/22/2019
Like the playful, participatory work he produces, Jo Fairfax defies categorisation. In fact, he isn’t keen on categorisation at all: ‘’I feel unsettled by the classifications of whatever, whether it is sculpture or architecture or art or design’’ he told Blueprint magazine back in 2011. That said, we hope he doesn’t mind if we say his work encompasses a fascinating mix of public art installations, holograms, sculpture, architectural and sculptural lighting, automata and interactive objects....
