Love letter to @settstudios as they have to depart their beloved spot at 127 Leith Walk 😭 So thankful to the Sett studios committee for running a space that has provided so much hope, community and fun for the past 5 years 🌟 I was introduced to Sett as part of a residency in 2023 thanks to @theforestarts which provided so much support and confidence for me- and since then it’s been a joy to interact with an artist run space that is genuinely inclusive and has hosted such a range of visual art, music, performance. Boo to the landlords and lack of rent controls that are killing off cultural and community spaces, Long live Sett! 💋

From tomorrow 8th August until the 23rd there will be a celebration of print happening @ootbdrillhall organised by @ootblueprint , there's an amazing exhibition, workshops and also lots of printed media for sale including posters, zines and t-shirts 🕸I'm really honoured to be part of the gocco club as part of this year's print fair- and have made some t-shirts with scans from a 1938 edition of Picture Post on 'jitter-bugs' and other at the time contentious dances, which @__mllplr v kindly lent to me, combined with some etching scans. The t-shirts will be on sale for the entire period of the print expo, but I'll also have a stall at the culminating market on the 23rd, where I'll have some etchings on paper for sale - please come down!
