Today I received an email about a possible workshop working with a studio and Holbeck Village. The workshop was directed at people who where interested in Art Direction and Curation so I definitely wanted to get involved, because this is the field I want to work in. This opportunity was provided by my tutor Amber and below is the initial email and contact.

This workshop was lead by Tony Broomhead who is apart of OS31 a design and architecture agency in Sheffield. For the workshop myself and 6 other students had put their names forward to partake in his workshop. Tony presented some of the work that his agency do and the work was amazing! definitely something I am interested in, in regards to art direction and curation.
During his presentation I noted some key points about the agency and him.
- OS31 is based in Sheffield (this is where he works alongside two others)
- Teaches at Sheffield University
- He created a restaurant on ice which is currently being build and will be open in January in Canada
- He has also worked on a building which has a projection on the side and is operated by people's text messages
- Worked on Leeds Light Night a couple of years ago
- Manchester pop up installation
- Children's play area design - When the cushions are placed in the correct sequence this triggers a movie to start playing
- They have also done a lot of work in Holbeck - Holbeck Urban Village
- Designed a pop up park for 6 months and 6 years later it is still there
- Inside the Marshall Mill at Holbeck Urban Village, they designed a tree for life - It has a framework to put plants on
- Tony also mentioned that he always creates paper mock ups before starting any project - This made my eyes light up as this is what I love to do!
Overview
Although i'm unsure of what the workshop will entail I am excited at the prospect of doing something within a field I am very interested in and can build my knowledge and skills within this field by participating.
