We did a call out for artists who might want to be a resident for at least three months on our art zine to write or film guides each month. The guides can be written pieces or short videos, and would offer tips and tricks for using different materials, processes and ideas for making. The residency is for three months across three issues, with the opportunity to write additional pieces. This is a great opportunity for an artist to be our resident 'expert' to write short tips, tricks and guides as a residency opportunity.
They could be top ten tips, short guides or videos. The artist would be featured and could show examples of their work to demonstrate the guide.
This role can be expanded as we value initiative and creative thinking, so you can really own this and use this platform to promote your knowledge and ideas.
Well we don’t have one but two great artists Francesca Busca and Kirsty Bunce for you to keep your eye on and maybe learn something new from…
******************
Our First artist is -
Francesca Busca

Currently on retainer with Venice's Institute of Marine Sciences and teaching art(ivism) in London, she embodies sustainable living through veganism, ecological giving, and activism—her most meaningful art residency.
Our Second Artist is Kirsty Bunce
