We're excited for the Arts Together Leeds summer party tonight! We'll be there with our Tall Tales Tree and poet Joe Williams for a drop-in workshop called Hang a Haiku. Can't wait to connect with all the arts partners who'll be there 🙂

A huge thank you to the wonderful people who contributed to our Arts Together summer party yesterday: @TRJFProject + #foundfiction✍️ + mafwatheatre.bsky.social + Opera North's Molly Barker and Annette Saunders + ChapelFM Arts Centre Jazz Collective + Sophie Okonkwo + everyone at The Old Fire Station 💛🧡🤎❤️

We had an awesome time at the Arts Together Leeds summer party 🙂 It was especially nice connecting with new partners and catching up with friends we haven’t seen in ages! Long live nights like this ❤️ Thanks to all of you who hung a haiku from our Tall Tales Tree ✍️

It feels good to be back at York St John University leading some seminars with York Centre for Writing students. Writing is my first love and will always be my primary way of connecting with the world — so I’m totally in my element helping the next generation develop their creative vision. 📖📚📕

Today we’re at Kirkgate Centre as part of Bradford Science Festival! We’re asking “what makes you grow?” — food, exercise, love, we’ve had lots of suggestions so far… We’ll be sharing how our tree blossoms over the course of the day 🍂

Behind the scenes at the making of our new Christmas project… 🤫

Our physical and digital map launches this Friday with all the amazing things happening in Leeds city centre this year #ChristmasInLeeds Featuring: @VictoriaLeeds_ TRINITY LEEDS Chow Down Leeds Corn Exchange and more 📆 19th November 🔗 christmas.welcometoleeds.co.uk (coming soon)

🚨 NEW PROJECT ALERT 🚨 This year we’re inviting you to step into Christmas… in someone else’s house. Come visit My Christmas Home — our festive art installation with LeedsBID — and experience Christmas with different Leeds households. More info at bit.ly/mychristmashome

We thought we’d give you a sneak peek of our new art installation with LeedsBID — launching Saturday November 27! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Busy day today at #mychristmashome despite the gale force winds! Even Leanne, Dylan, and Gracie (our first featured household) dropped by to check it out. Home from home you might say…

Another week, another household at #mychristmashome! If you fancy spending Christmas with a student houseshare, come find us at Bond Court.

You may have seen I’ve not done much #foundfiction✍️ stuff recently. It peaked in the months building up to 2020, when the value of all my commissions and grants for the year ahead would have paid me a salary — a place to grow Found Fiction as a self-sustaining enterprise of sorts.
