"Merete has written a book that is clear, comprehensive and practical. You will learn so much about such an interesting area of early development whilst learning how to implement it that you will just have to give it a go, and you won’t be disappointed when you do."
Josh Connick, Head of Early Years and Primary Explorers, Brookfields School Merete's book is brimming with ideas for practical activities for parents, carers and teachers to use with young children and children with special educational needs.
Peter says: "Thank you to everyone who came to the stealth launch of my book this afternoon with Peculiarity Press. It was very generous of Picnic Foods to host it and of Suzanne Floss Stallard and the Jelly team for fitting me into the OpenForArt programme. It was a delight to share the venue with Lisa- Marie Gibbs and Emma Bradbury's Emotional State installation and Plant Emporium.
I really appreciate the support and friendship that have made this project possible." Thank you so much to everyone who made advance orders and trusted that we would get there. Hope you enjoy the results. Books available here if you've not got yours yet. Hosted by the Stash Collective Micro Gallery as part of the Reading Open for Art festival programme and inspired by Robert Good's 'A New Dictionary of Art', I spent a couple of hours chatting and debating with shoppers in Broad Street about what art does or doesn't mean to them. I think we sparked a good few thoughts throughout the morning. With thanks for inspiration from Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Marcel Duchamp and Carl Andre and the many people that define art for themselves by deciding what it is not.
 A corner of Glastonbury included a billboard based on the Breaking book by Robert Good. Described by the NME as: "Shangri-La, the outspoken and much-loved corner of Worthy Farm is celebrating its tenth incarnation this year, serving up its usual dizzying dose of the theatrical, the radical and the bizarrely brilliant through its latest set of visual arts, curious installations and live performance."  'Breaking' in its first incarnation at Cambridge Arts Space Delighted to say that Peter Driver's 'A Walk for Stanley' has been put to bed and is now at the printers. The first copies are expected by early July. So pleased to have been able to work on this beautiful book - a real pleasure.
Every day during 2018 Robert Good collected the headlines offered to him by the automated Google News feed, to find out what sort of information we are being drip-fed hour by hour, day by day - and what sort of picture it paints of life today.
The result is BREAKING, over 13,000 news headlines carefully and compulsively edited into a hypnotic new book that holds a mirror up to the wallpaper of our lives - a mesmerising mix of sport, fashion, gossip and gloom. We are excited to say that BREAKING will be launched on Thursday 7th March at Cambridge Artworks with an accompanying exhibition plus new video by Manchester artist Lizz Brady. Save the date - full details to follow!  Latest prints in the studio by Peter Driver for the forthcoming 'A Walk for Stanley' Due to extremely difficult personal circumstances for Peter Driver, whose daughter is terminally ill, the publication of 'A Walk for Stanley' has pushed back to the summer. Peter says:
"Progress on the book project 'A Walk For Stanley' has slowed to a glacial pace since October. I'm half-way through making the series of woodcuts which will feature in the book. The prints will be woven together with my drawings, photographs, poetry, essays and bird observations to produce what I hope will be rather special publication. The writing task is also making slow progress. Therefore the intended publication date has been pushed back to the summer." We thank all the supporters who have pre-ordered, and if you are not yet among that esteemed band, there is still time to place an advance order for the book, and to be in the first 100, who will receive an additional free woodcut print.  Looking forward to taking part in BABE artists bookfair at the end of March...
