BABE is this weekend!!

Hi everyone,

As you know (as I haven't stopped pestering you!) BABE is this Saturday and Sunday. You should DEFINITELY come! There's gonna be loads of really good exhibitors there and usually they're very friendly, so now is your chance to ask questions. Come prepared but let them just talk, they know a lot that you could learn from. If you can't come then please feel free to forward your questions on to me and I'll ask them when I'm there, just comment on this post with your questions and whether it's for someone specific or just general.

I'm particularly keen to talk to people like Charlotte Valance to see how difficult things are when you get out of uni (since I'm nearly there, eek!) and also people from East London Printmakers to see how easy/difficult it is to print out of uni in places other than Birmingham. Also small presses and galleries like Here Gallery to see what kind of things they publish and showcase.

This will be a great opportunity for us to find loads of things out, so please come and if you can't then comment on here with questions you'd like me to ask.
