Hello Esme,
I am about to begin an MA and part of my research will
be made up of collaborations with children. I am
interested in drawing particularly, in it's widest
sense and would certailny be interested in following
any discussion and/or research surrounding this
subject that comes from the network. I would be
interested in applying for the commission that you
mentioned, perhaps when further details become
available it might be possible to inform me?
Kind regards,
Charlotte Knox-Williams
