A new linocut of the Leamington Lift Bridge in Edinburgh. It’s about 50x40cm (so just a wee one) which made the detail tricky to achieve.

A great afternoon at the launch of Julian Boal’s new book ‘The Theatre of the Oppressed and Its Times’ at Moray House. Great to hear him talk about these ideas and to hear the introduction from the excellent Dr Stuart Moir.

Looking forward to this. I get to talk about Adorno and Honneth and educational research - all the interesting stuff!

When teachers give students answers before they even have questions (stuffing, banking, lecturing) we should not be surprised that little learning takes place. We get a facsimile instead.

A great evening at The Portobello Bookshop with Jude Moir and our families to see Elle McNicoll (@BooksandChokers) giving an author talk about her new book ‘Keedie’. The kids loved it and are already a few chapters in to the new book. Always lovely to see them excited by books. Thanks!

This was an exciting project and one that we were delighted to work on with DMBinS. Colleagues, graduates, and students from Edinburgh Napier University working together to bring sound/music and light installations to Glentress Forest to get riders out for a family night ride - beautiful!

A nice wee bit of coverage of our fun sold out event over the last couple of nights. We turned Glentress Forest into an exciting interactive multimedia playground of light and sound. Over 150 cyclists came to the forest for a special night ride. Great fun and lots of happy faces!
