Tips for practice
Submitted by orla kenny on Wed, 16 Dec 09
During our last Practice.ie meeting in partnership with the dlr Arts Office at the National Concert Hall. We asked all the artists to make artist books as a way to gather their thoughts throughout the day. After the day I read through the books and I brought together some of the thoughts that artists noted down that I thought would be good to share.
Please comment if you have any tips to add.
