There were so many exhibitions and inspiring work its really hard to describe! I took nearly every lecture that was on the programme which was a really great opportunity to get a inside look at how each artist works and produces there commercial work, based on contemporary character design.
The character walk was a lot of fun and had so much variety. One of my favourite things on the character walk was a live show/workshop by the Bee Kingdom which are a group of Canadian glass blowing artists, who also did a great lecture on the final day of the festival.
The best workshop I took part in was the felt monster workshop with Joshua Ben Longo, where we all created our own little monsters made of felt. It was really inspiring to see what each person came up with, they all had such different creations.
It was a really great experience and since then I have seen a real freshness in my work. I can't wait till next year's and if you have not been yet, I really urge you to, you'd be glad you did!
Thanks
