Once again, we're so busy, we've failed to keep up with posting news on this blog! We'll (once again) try to post more & often on here... looks like we've relied heavily on social media to "get the news out" - but this is a great repository for us... so, we should try harder!<br />
<br />
<b>So! First up is : Success!</b><br />
Gabi will be working with <a href="http://www.moragmcgee.com/">Morag McGee</a> on a public art commission for <a href="http://www.wearesmartconsultants.co.uk/">SMart consultants</a> / <a href="http://www.rgu.ac.uk/">RGU</a> / <a href="http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/culture/">ACC</a> as part of a new visual arts festival called "look again". Gabi & Morag will be working with a group from Tory to create works of art to be added to the William Wallace Statue.<br />
<br />
Philip has also been successful in gaining one of the commissions to enhance / augment an existing sculpture on the ACC "Sculpture Trail". More information to follow.<br />
<br />
Philip was also successful in gaining a Cultural Grant from <a href="http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/culture/">Aberdeen City Council</a> to enhance his knowledge of <a href="http://www.arduino.cc/">Arduino</a> & Microcontrollers. He is using the funding to get 1 to 1 training from <a href="http://www.manning.com/mevans/">Martin Evans</a>. Philip has already had one session with Martin where he has learned how to solder, creating his first <a href="http://www.adafruit.com/product/94">Ada Fruit Wav Shield</a>.<br />

<br />
It's a really exciting time for us, it's the first NEOS in a long time that we've been able to let people into our own working studio! We moved house last year & we're lucky to have a small studio in the back garden now & we're looking forward to welcoming visitors & showcasing the work we've been creating over the last year.<br />
<br />
Our NEOS entries are : <a href="http://www.northeastopenstudios.co.uk/neos/p-memb-viewentry.php?entid=659#.VAmOXvldW9U">Gabrielle Reith</a> & <a href="http://www.northeastopenstudios.co.uk/neos/p-memb-viewentry.php?entid=437#.VAmOm_ldW9U">Philip Thompson</a>, where you can find our "open times" & directions.<br />
<br />
We're also having <a href="http://www.northeastopenstudios.co.uk/neos/p-memb-viewentry.php?entid=440#.VAmOyPldW9U">Morag McGee</a> with us, showcasing her Raku & porcelain work.<br />
<br />
We also worked with Patricia Reith, Sandra Rettie & Clare Louise Burnette to create a small "trail" to encourage visitors to explore the Westhill area. We've created a flyer & map, where visitors can obtain signatures from all three locations in order to be entered into a prize draw & discounts on sales over £100. You can download & print the flyer here: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/arhdux89lv081z7/NEOS%20westhill%202014.pdf?dl=0">NEOS Westhill Trail</a> (340 kbs PDF)<br />
<br />
We look forward to seeing you!<br />

The one<br />parameter of the interpretation, should be "creativity" ‐ what monsters work with or against artists and makers when they create work?
