Where will you go and what will you see on Slow Art Day 2023?

Slow Art Day started in USA in 2010, after researchers found that the average attendee to exhibitions spent less than 30 seconds looking at any one piece of art.

Since 2013 I have encouraged host venues and galleries in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, UK, to participate in Slow Art Day, helping communities to benefit from slowing down and share their experiences of the artwork on display.

This year I will be at the Babylon Gallery, Riverside, Ely, Cambridgeshire, inviting people to Slow down and take time to look at the exhibition ‘Colour’ by a selected group of AngliaPotters.

Everyone is welcome, this is a free event, come and share the conversation.

I would really appreciate knowing about other people’s experiences of Slow Art Day this

year.

Recently I have been thinking and writing more about Slow Making, how it has developed

over the years and continues to feature in my making approach.

I will be putting some of that here over the next few months and would appreciate some

feedback, follow the blog and maybe comment on how Slow Making might feature in your

own or other people’s making process.

Based in the Cambridgeshire Fens for over 30 years, the fragile, damaged ecologies,

between land and water that people and the natural world share have been a background

to my work.
