On saturday 20th began our drive at getting artists familiar with the building. A group of people were invited to visit the building and consider using it - a special incentive was offered for the month of March too. as a result we are begining to get bookings for March.the proposed uses ranged from using the space as a retreat for solitary writing, through groups using the space to work out ideas, to some construction projects. A very good spread of ideas, lets hope that the booking keep materialising.

This website got made public on the 1st of April 2009.
It is currently being tested by a few invitees. If you stumble across it, then consider yourself an invitee, post stuff, partake, and give me feedback please.
I hope it will only take a couple of weeks before there are many more members and all the glitches are gone.

Chesworth Arts farm is bookable for any period not already booked on its schedule calendar. the space is rented at a very low cost on a daily basis for any creative activity associated with the arts, or allied subject. the building has excellent possibilities for meetings, making, retreats, working in the countryside, trying stuff out, photoshoots, performance, etc. it is easily reached by train & bus from Brighton or london and by car.
I have got quite a lot of fairly large bamboo poles, varying from about 30mm in diameter to 120mm. they are long too ranging from about 3m to 4.5 (i think).
if they would be useful for someone I would be happy to sell them for a heavily reduced price.
they are currently stored in Horsham - and will require a long car to transport them on the roof (sorry i cant deliver), or a very log van.

Arts Activity
| My creative work: | I am a sculptor that makes large items of public art work entirely to commission. I work across most materials that can be worked and have an unfashionable liking for the hand made. Beyond that I hop around many different disciplines, I work in learning, provided that it is not too closely associated with 'education'. I work with collaborative froups, especially when ideas based, I have a fondness in finding ways that artists and others can work together and see what is possible. I was a founder member of Red Herring Studios, back in 1986. Oh yes I have written a few books too. |

1000 names at Fabrica for Brighton Festival.
In a very direct way I have come to know two sculptures by
Anish Kapoor very well in the past month. First I assisted with the
installation of both of the sculptures at Fabrica (about which I shall say more
later) and since then I have been manning the gallery at night and weekends,
being unable to leave for periods of up to 21 hours at a stretch. This has
meant that I have spent an extraordinary amount of time alone with the
sculptures (60 hours over the Easter p... Read more
Here I am then, sitting in a large oak throne on the cancel of a deserted church, facing the nave and the empty body of the church. In front of me, rather than pews, a bronze container full of faux entrails, and a small low plinth with five colourful sandcastles. I have been here for 22 hours, and shortly before that i was here for 20 hours, I will get to go home briefly in another 18 hours. It is easter and everything has gone quiet.The experience of being locked alone in a large building, unable to leave, is odd, somethi... Read more
Perhaps I should explain. While making this website I have become even more nocturnal than Usual. So much so that many of the everyday things that I should be doing have become neglected.
Then rather unexpectedly I was asked if I knew of anyone who could bear to spend nights guarding the Anish Kapoor Scuplture that will be in Fabrica during this years festival. It only took me a second to realise that this would be the ideal opportunity to get a small (less than the minimum wage) amount of money for being so hopelessly ti... Read more
