Celebrating Grant Success

 

I’m overjoyed to have heard that my applications for a Develop Your Creative Practice (DYCP) Grant from Arts Council England (ACE) and a Mentoring grant from Cultivator have both been successful!

It couldn’t be a more perfect time to be able to spend the next 12 months working with the amazing mentor and coach Wendy Gers (Phd), a specialist ceramics coach with the support of Cultivator Cornwall and the Arts Council England DYCP grant will enable me to explore a different direction in my work...

As a creative business owner there never seems to be enough time to develop new ideas and I have been planning to apply to ACE for this particular stream of funding ever since I heard about it when it was launched a few years ago.

I’ve had grant funding in the past but I really have to acknowledge that ACE have really come up trumps with the DYCP grant. It’s so rare to receive funding that will give you the time and space to explore new creative ideas and I’m incredibly grateful and excited I can't wait to share my journey with you!
