Friends, creatives and fellow artists, please join us for an informal, intimate morning event built around art, conversation and community, marking the publication of writer, curator and broadcaster Hettie Judah’s new book, ‘How to Enter the Art World …After.’
Hosted as a relaxed daytime gathering, The After Session begins with an introduction by acclaimed textiles artist Alice Kettle, followed by short, informal presentations from Camilla Emson, Temujen Gunawardena, Sophie Mason, Cherry Truluck, Rachel Marshall, Alyssa Norton and Selina Ogilvy. Each artist will share recent and current work, offering insights into their practices. The presenting artists are part of a long‑standing group of critical friends, who support one another through monthly gatherings rooted in care, honesty and exchange.
We will then move into a clustered circle, with Hettie Judah seated at the centre for an open, hour‑long Q&A. This will be a space for conversation and curiosity, questions about the art world, about sustaining a practice, about re‑entry, continuity and the realities of creative life.
The morning will close gently, with a cup of tea and time to chat. Hettie will be selling and signing copies of ‘How to Enter the Art World …After’ - a generous, myth‑busting guide for artists whose lives are complicated and human.
Tea and coffee will be provided, and there will be break‑out space for children, making this a family‑friendly event where parents and carers are warmly welcomed.
