Making Space:Sensing Place
In October 2009, along with artist Thurle Wright, I was awarded a Making Space:Sensing Place Fellowship; part of the HAT: Here and There International Exchange Programme, managed by A Fine Line:Cultural Practice. The Fellowship includes residencies with Britto Arts in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with Arts Reverie in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, with The V&A Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green, London and with The Harley Gallery, Nottinghamshire. Working and collaborating with artists and craftspeople from the UK, Bangladesh and India, responding to the collections and spaces we encounter and sharing these experiences through a touring exhibition and educational workshops.
This blog, which is still developing and being added to, is a record of my experiences during the MS:SP Fellowship. Steven Follen.

A series of articles, about the metalwork experienced during the fellowship, were written for 'Benchpeg' newsletter. These were added as entries to the blog.
