I feel I should caveat that none of this stuff is finished as having a final project or completing a body of work isn't the point of DYCP, it's literally just about developing your practise.

No, not for DYCP, there's no end project or body of work you have to produce. It's literally just about developing your practise. I have a few friends who gotten it (not for Warhammer) and they told me that collaborations and working with other artists helps though, which I why I did the workshops.

Last week, I made cryptic mention of an exciting development in my creative life. I can now reveal that I've been awarded a DYCP grant from Arts Council England to develop my printmaking. I can't tell you how happy I am. Full story below:

The first test made me want to strengthen that transition further: giving the making enough time and space, and making the moment of actually setting off feel integral to Sealegs rather than simply an introduction.

Just managed to get on to #ACE live chat. #DYCP applicants will be notified first BUT apparently ACE staff are still trying to figure out how to do this because they have always relied on #Grantium. (It's not rocket science, people, it's admin!) Might be next week now 😭
We want to reassure users, particularly those submitting applications or awaiting funding decisions, that we will be in touch with them later today, and we are putting arrangements in place so that everyone can access the services they need as quickly as possible.

This time last year I was in Venice on a research trip supported by Arrs Council England! My #DYCP project was focused on development via my fantasy novel, Aquila.
I also received mentoring with sage, funny & fab authors @drstephencarver.bsky.social & @gavthorpe.bsky.social which is awesome! 🖤
