Vivian & Gwendoline: Furniture & Food © Jon Martin, 2008Not something I normally do on this blog, mix my own doing and thinking with my teaching. Although in real life the two things are intrinsically linked. But to be honest, this year's been almost full-time teaching and perhaps it's about time I try to explain what else I've been throwing my creative talents at. Or rather, why I haven't made so much of my own stuff recently. I suspect this will be an isolated post, I don't want to make a regular thing of it, but come assessment this term I felt so inordinately proud at what my University College Falmouth level one students had managed to achieve in four weeks, that I just wanted to represent in it in some way. I'm literally fluffed up with gratification, like a mother hen. In some ways it's wrong to glow in their reflected glory, because the work is all down to their hard graft. But at the same time, with all these students, I was involved in the conversation. It's a really, really good feeling to help people fly.
