A Shared Heart
Intentions For The Everyday School of Art in 2025
View this post on The Everyday School of Art via Substack

As we look forward to 2025, I want to reflect on why this Substack matters to me and why I choose to continue it. Mum talks about different strands of creativity becoming tangled together in Wearable Intentions, and while I have lots of resolutions for 2025 in relation to my creative work, I think they’re all connected, so I start here with my intentions for The Everyday School of Art.
When my mum and I started The Everyday School of Art, I was in the process of transitioning from taking art as one of four subjects to studying Fine Art full-time. Substack was a place for me to navigate and share that journey. I hoped too that it might be helpful for others in similar positions to look back on. I think I did fall into somewhat of a rhythm when I started writing – my favourite posts are those that deal with current ideas, often in relation to my practical work. Because of the nature of my foundation course, I was moving through different ways of working quite often, and so when I did come to write, I felt I had something new to talk about.
