The more families/households involved, the more fun it is. Nipping round the streets, trying to spot the answers to the clues and other teams playing in their cars, whilst not being spotted yourself!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This October for my 40th birthday I researched and wrote an epic Bristol Treasure Hunt, which we were able to do with lots of different families in their cars, whilst complying with the current social-distancing restrictions. It worked brilliantly and was a huge amount of fun. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is a massive amount of Bristol history and trivia packed into this quiz. With questions covering prehistoric finds, Roman and Iron age inhabitants, prisons, gallows, plagues, monasteries, campaigners and even a golden bottom! For groups with younger hunters there is a set of animal themed questions to keep them interested. Players can do as little or as much of the hunt as they like, building up points to get the best score they can. There are opportunities for serious historical online research, silly photos and even acting out Star Wars lines with props. A team could choose to hunt for 10 minutes to 3 hours.</div><br /></div>As you can see from the little map pictured above, the hunt is all in the north/central part of the city from Hotwells, to Sea Mills, to Southmead. It avoids all areas of heavy traffic and in October 2020 it avoids all road closures. Before using it with a group I'd recommend driving the route to check it is clear. We set up an online location for teams to upload their photos and answers live. This worked really well. I asked each team to choose a team name/character which had to be displayed in the rear window of their car. Teams got one extra point for each other team they spotted and photographed. Our prize-winning team got 59 points, the score to beat!<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Feel free to adapt it for your use but it is not for resale and the text remains copyright S.Trigg.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do share in the comments if you use the hunt.

<span style="font-size: x-small;">These titles and others are due this week to become the new raw material for my next artistbook project. I've been collecting withdrawn university library books for years and now I have a collection of fascinating titles. Previously I've made beautiful 'Library Dust Paper' from whatever books I could get my hands on and then turned it into limited edition art objects.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">To mark the begining of a new year and a new season for Trigger Editions I decided to design and make some creative new birthday calendars. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I am so fed-up with only just remembering important dates on the day or too late I decided to do something about it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">There are lots of designs out there but I've not seen anything else quite like this. I've seen lots of cute, girly or crafty designs, and lots of cool, graphic modern calendars. I wanted something that my family would enjoy looking at for years to come, but it had to be infinitely adaptable as our needs and tastes change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm really pleased with the outcome, a 'Make It Yourself Birthday Calendar', which is why I've decided to make a free download available so anyone can print their own on their choice of beautiful paper. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TakSSCgZKQ4/WnxfN3XrHCI/AAAAAAAACK4/EfeD51b8wQMP4mZfK1BQ0ZKkOHUzgwhoQCLcBGAs/s1600/20180126_122659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TakSSCgZKQ4/WnxfN3XrHCI/AAAAAAAACK4/EfeD51b8wQMP4mZfK1BQ0ZKkOHUzgwhoQCLcBGAs/s640/20180126_122659.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My personal version has been printed on all the wonderful recycled book, envelope, map, and music score paper that I love to collect and use to make art prints and multiples with. The names and dates are then added with stickers and tags which are easily changed and added to.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I have found two really effective ways of displaying and using the calendar prints. One you can see above which uses a clip frame from IKEA called <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: -1.06672px;"><a href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/decoration/frames-pictures/myrheden-frame-brass-colour-art-00338233/" target="_blank">MYRHEDEN</a> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fsVK8JuWdh8/WnxfSeemqvI/AAAAAAAACK8/CZZsmxRBkT4vtq0dGpzVuW_sbCNtv9muACLcBGAs/s1600/20171209_194055.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fsVK8JuWdh8/WnxfSeemqvI/AAAAAAAACK8/CZZsmxRBkT4vtq0dGpzVuW_sbCNtv9muACLcBGAs/s400/20171209_194055.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The second, on show in the middle of my table at a local Christmas Fair, displays the prints in a frame with the date stickers applied on top so that they can be added and removed easily. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I have been selling my sets of 'Make It Yourself Calendar Prints', which include a set of date stickers, for £8 and giving them as gifts. I'm really looking forward to see how other people use them in creative ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Talking of which, here are the files so you can print your own calendar. The PDF's are all 23 x 11.5cm. Each of the 12 files will give you the text for two square 11.5cm prints, which is just the right size for the IKEA frame. One set for you and one to give to a friend. I just set my printer settings to 'custom' paper size - 23 x 11.5 cm, and cut my paper to the right dimensions before printing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1cLfpj64Y1FYYvc4rVOS-UMQGHwiBAtSL" target="_blank">Set One - MIY Birthday Calendar</a> just has the names of the months and a few botanical illustrations (as seen above).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/152Cb6hWbCQnnyCAKObnNdCgczpRPcPI5?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Set Two - MIY Birthday Calendar</a> has the same botanical details plus a selection of biblical verses to facilitate and </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">stimulate</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> prayer for all the special people you put in the birthday calendar. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(There is an extra file suitable for creating date labels in each folder. This could be printed on an A4 sticker sheet.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We hope you enjoy making, giving and using your 'MIY Birthday Calendar'. Do send us photographs of your own versions.</span><br />

<br />
For 5 years I haven't blogged,<br />
I haven't completed any new works for Trigger Editions,<br />
I haven't taken work to Artist Book Fairs,<br />
I haven't felt able to contribute.<br />
<br />
Should I feel disappointed?<br />
<br />
As a woman and mother in the 21st century shouldn't I have been able to nurture my children whilst simultaneously maintaining my 'art practice' in the usual way? <a href="https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-why-motherhood-won-t-hinder-your-career-as-an-artist" target="_blank">So many seem able to.</a><br />
<br />
You can't turn off that part of who you are and, indeed, who would want to? Not producing artworks in the way I would have previously, over these last years has felt so wrong, like a spider not making webs, and yet this, due to many factors, is the choice I was led to make and I don't regret it.<br />
<br />
My boys have needed all of my attention, all of my strength. My eyes have been down, fully occupied by these very needy little beings, caring for them and others walking this particular stony track with me. Many others have found the strength, time and space to continue making art and I am in awe. Had circumstances been different, that would have been me.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, however, it turns out that ideas don't stop coming; the motivation doesn't disappear and the impulse to respond creatively is wonderfully insatiable. I have been so creative and incredibly productive. I consider myself to have been an artist in residence for 5 years, experiencing, analysing, playing, discussing. Now it is time to respond.<br />
<br />
For five years I have shared with other parents and caregivers; I have created crazy, awesome cardboard, Lego and play-dough constructions, adapted toys for creative play, made whole immersive worlds for my boys and their friends, designed creative activities for playgroups and workshops. I have contributed and have loved it. I have grown.<br />
<br />
So what exactly is my 'art practice'? My challenge now is to bring together the very messy creative explosion, which is bringing up children, with this world of artist books and art multiples. There is so much of this creative experience that could be collected and packaged into a shareable form. There is so much of the human experience to be exchanged and reflected upon, to be given and received. There are so many ways in which creative expression and creative gift exchange can assist those struggling with this particular life challenge, even if it is just to help provide inspiration for a rainy day.<br />
<br />
With all these ideas brewing and the end of my five year <a href="http://www.residencyinmotherhood.com/" target="_blank">'Art Residency in Motherhood'</a> a few months away, I've decided to launch 'Little Triggs' to share creative ideas, products and art editions with kids and families in mind.

We were gutted to have to leave the Bath craft fair at 2.30 on Saturday. It was great talking to people at our stall. Do get in touch if you want to know more. I have lots of new prints that aren't online yet. If you are around come and visit us at the Colston Hall in Bristol this Saturday.S J Trigghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01189441697315265995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984811687610328629.post-80408297537479997082012-11-26T14:27:00.000+00:002018-05-01T16:39:03.091+01:00Art Fairs in the run up to Christmas and other things.I had a lovely time on Saturday at the Artist Bookfair in <a href="http://www.thenewartgallerywalsall.org.uk/comment/2010/06/artists-books-fair/" target="_blank">The New Art Gallery Walsall</a>.<br />
Trigger Editions is now featuring work by artist Jane Taylor-Weekes. (Lots more photos and info to follow.) I really enjoyed meeting people and discussing Jane's 'Unfathomable' pocket maps of the ocean. We are currently working together on a new series of lino prints for the Winter season of art fairs.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see or purchase any of my or Jane's work come and find the Trigger Editions stall. On the morning of Saturday 1st of December we will be in the Quaker meeting house, Craft Fair in the Bath Christmas Market, just till 2pm, and on the 8th we will have a small stall upstairs in the Colston Hall 'Made in Bristol' Fair.<br />
<br />
Alternatively if you would like to learn some craft techniques yourself I am running a Christmas Craft Event in The Elmgrove, Redland Road Bristol, called 'Deck the Halls' see below.<br />

This will be such an exciting event and Trigger editions are really excited to be a part of it. I can guarantee that there will be something to interest everyone. The whole of the harbour-side will be buzzing for the bank holiday weekend. It's the <a href="http://www.spikeisland.org.uk/events/openstudios2011">Spike Island Open Studios</a> as well and a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/harboursidemarket">Harbourside Market</a>.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I had a lovely evening last night meeting artists and catching up with old friends at Tree House in Bristol. We were launching Geoff Hall's new book 'The Wilderness and Desert of the Real' published by Upptacka Press and introducing a few new projects that members of The Group had been working on, including a little slot from me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm hoping to begin working on a range of new pieces soon with various artists, coming from a similar place to me and who want to engage with the world of artist books and multiples. Some exciting conversations! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

These lovely birds are going to be used in the decorations for a wedding in August, but I've also been thinking of making some to sell at art fairs.S J Trigghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01189441697315265995noreply@blogger.com0
