DISTANCE2 Episode 1 (AAS)

Creative-Me-Podcast

In partnership with Applied Arts Scotland Creative Me Podcast brings you a four part series of podcasts with participants involved in The DISTANCE Project (Digital Immersive Technologies and Craft Engagement) which is a multi-stage project that offers makers opportunities to collaborate and to share experiences and objects in new and exciting ways through immersive digital technologies. DISTANCE builds on the makers experiences of supporting international, cross-cultural residencies and the Scottish making community, including throughout lockdown periods during the global pandemic of 2020-21. It also supports our aims to promote sustainable making practices. Throughout these conversations I spoke with a variety of participants from the craft and making community who took part in the DISTANCE Project and exploring their initial motivations to get involved in the project and how this has influenced their personal and professional development. In our first episode I sat down with the project leads Carol Sinclair, Lynne Hocking, Netty Sopata, and Steve Colmer from Lateral North. You can find out more about the DISATNCE Project and the individual work of our guests on the links below. And thanks again to the Project leads for coming on the podcast and sharing their story with us for this first episode. https://www.appliedartsscotland.org.uk/projects/distance-project/ https://www.carolsinclairceramics.co.uk/ https://www.lynnesloom.co.uk/ https://diggorybrown.com/index.html https://lateralnorth.com/ As you know Creative Me Podcast is an independent run project that champions North East artists and creatives.
