We commemorated Cinco de Mayo with Mexico at Totally Arts @mtgstudios this week. We looked at ‘My Life With The Wave’ by Octavio Paz, and embodied the frozen waves at the end of the story. Then offered our own unique interpretations of Frida Kahlo!!

It’s Stress Awareness Month so at Totally Arts @mtgstudios this week we did some hand massage, wrote visualisations and explored the polka dot-tastic work of Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. I spent a small fortune on polka dot stickers and didn’t regret a single penny! We tried to copy one piece then got creative with our own!! Those polka dots got everywhere!!!

Had a gorgeous day @tattonpark to create an audio introduction for #SeeMeAppear, an immersive artwork by @peut_porter asking ‘what if female voices were more often recognised in historical storytelling?’ The work imagines the lives of 3 women who lived at Tatton, mixing fact with fabulation using augmented reality. It’s stunning! Images show daffodils dancing, beautiful rooms, the artists using iPads, masks in neon yellow, a life sized woman on a screen, the artists at the launch. Thanks to @abandon_normal_devices for inviting me!

Today is my last day working with @bradfordcultureco - it’s been an extraordinary time and I’ve learned so much. I’ve got things right, got things wrong and met some incredible people, not least the 10 trainee audio describers who have ALL stayed throughout the whole year and given their time and enthusiasm with seemingly endless good cheer. Watching them grow has undoubtedly been my favourite part of the year and I am beyond grateful for them all. Thank you @ricneild @noorafasa @karenbart @charlottejones8135 @flexiblehead Martha Tom @iamcorinward @hopejadeshooter @joanne.adams Images show the team audio describing at various events and performances!

#WeyAyeLegoMan2026 has invited neurodivergent artists to customise @lego mini figures. So here at Totally Arts @mtgstudios we took up that challenge and ran with it! So here are 20 decorated LEGO figures which we think are pretty spectacular. We’ve definitely embraced texture here!

Here at Totally Arts @mtgstudios we celebrated Holi Festival in our own way. We’ll have no truck with all that paint throwing, but brightly coloured scarves? Oh yes, we’re fine with those, so we chucked them around with gusto!

I bet you didn’t even know it was National Umbrella Day!! Well lucky for you, here at Totally Arts HQ, @mtgstudios we’re across all that nonsense! We played fast and loose with Rihanna’s iconic track, and raised an umbrella on poses that could grace a Fashion Week catwalk! You are most welcome!

Beautiful India with beautiful people - what an adventure. Reel shows the glorious chaos on the streets of Hyderabad, the Qutb Shahi Tombs, food, cats, kite flying at a farmhouse with a pool, a boat on a lake, sunset and coffee time!! ❤️
