The First Cut @ Manchester Art Gallery

Wild Bees have been on hiatus whilst we both found our feet... they were on the end of our legs this whole time.. ba bum! So we're back and with lots of exciting projects coming up!

Dan has been busy with his band Cleft. They have just finished their new EP - Recorded, mixed and mastered by Dan and John, and artwork by me, Jess. It's DIY at it's finest folks, go have a listen and then order a limited edition copy!
I have been busy at a lovely Primary School for the past 6 months, but I recently said my farewells to get my head back into film making, and so far so good!

Over the Summer, Wild Bees were commissioned by Manchester Art Gallery to make a promotional film and research tool for students and craft enthusiasts in connection with The First Cut exhibition. This was incredible highlight for us!




A huge thank you to the artists who took part, we loved having a good snoop around your studios and eating your biscuits. It was such an inspiring project and the exhibition is one of the best I've seen in years! The film is being exhibited alongside all of the wonderful work and we are just thrilled to be a part of it.

Another great project will be coming as a result of this, but going to keep that under wraps for now.

Mini Post on Mini Art Club

Bon giorno!


I thought I'd do a mini post on mini art club as we have recently made a mini film for Manchester Art Gallery.





Mini Art Club is a free monthly session created for children ages 0-5. (My Favourite!!)
Michiko is the lady who creates a new world of visual and interactive delight each month, and I'm her helperer. I have taken my camera each time to capture lovely mini moments and its been brilliant! 
This film is from the August session focusing on Light. (Which I was very familiar with from working at Reggio Emilia fanatics Reflections Nursery - Always loving light!)


I have a back catalogue of little clips from over the months that hopefully will make themselves into films soon.


I have recently been approached by the Cultural Volunteers Coordinators Forum, (who work with Manchester Art Gallery and lots of other galleries and museums) to make an 8 minute film to promote volunteering around Manchester. Fingers crossed I get picked as the most bestest candidate.


Ciao,
