Click on the link below to see the final post by last terms AIRetc Lauren McLaughlin. Lauren has posted images of her excellent exhibition at Creative Exchange in Leith, Edinburgh.
Everyone on HND CAP would like to thank Lauren for her wonderful contribution to the course over the course of 5 months. Her contribution to crits and discussions was invaluable as were her talks and the fantastic collage workshops she led.
Our current AIR and former student Lauren is preparing for her solo show ‘Site-Seeing’ at Creative Exchange Gallery in Leith on June 20th!
See how Lauren’s preparations for the show are going in her latest post on the AIRetc website

In her latest posting on the AIRetc blog Lauren discusses the workshops and presents some of the work she has shared with the CAP1 students.

Lauren McLaughlin is the artist in residence at Edinburgh College. The Artist in Residency (AIR) programme welcomes emerging artists and designers who have studied at the college in the past to work in the college’s state-of-the-art studios. The AIR programme gives students the opportunity to work alongside talented artists to develop their own creative practice.
Now that I’m nicely settled into the college and the AIR studio, I guess its about time for my introductory post!
I’ve been here for a few weeks now, taking over from the lovely Hayley Mathers who gave me lots of useful advice and insights into her time as AIR over the past few months. Hayley’s show; ‘SUN’ was held at the Sculpture Workshops a couple of weeks ago and it was great to see the work she produced during her time at the college. I wrote a wee review of the show which you can have a read of here: http://2-1-4-1.com/Exhibition-Review-and-Artist-Interview-SUN-Hayley-Mathers
Having a studio again has been fantastic, since graduating in 2012 I’ve been working from home on my kitchen table which really isn’t ideal when the table has to be used for eating dinner, doing your child’s homework and making art all at the same time. In saying that, the whole process has really informed my practice over the past year or so and my hope is that these ideas and processes of working will be able to be developed in a larger and more coherent scale in the studio – but more on that later.
