I’m delighted to have been invited to facilitate a session on the Art of Freeranging as part of the Future Skills Festival organised by CIBAS in Portsmouth on July 12th. It’s part of a season running June-July, organised by CIBAS for artists and creatives in the south. Events are being hosted at the University of Portsmouth. Tickets are £20 and can be booked online.
