CALLING ALL TRADITIONAL REVOLUTIONARIES!
If you have handmade objects that you would like to barter, trade or peddle, bring your wares to the Notion Nanny Tea Party. If you are looking for an apprentice, or need a hand in your workshop, Notion Nanny will gladly oblige. If you work on commission, or would be interested in having Notion Nanny peddle your wares for you, please notify Notion Nanny with a proposal. If you would like to use the gallery space at Studio Voltaire to hold a meeting of makers call on Notion Nanny and it will happily be arranged.
In return for your contribution, you will become an honorary member of the Notion Nanny guild of makers.
Your participation will be recorded and included throughout the life of this cumulative project, which will travel to Shropshire in spring 2006 and then go on to other locations in the US, leading to a publication.
