As a conclusion to Cas Holmes’s Making Connections 2022 online course we invited our students to create and share a postcard showcasing the processes and techniques learnt throughout the course.

The postcards submitted invite us to explore country gardens, salty beach getaways, ancient cities and even farmlands. In the spirit of sharing and connecting, students were encouraged to reach out to a fellow Making Connections participant and physically post their postcard to them with 'A Note From' a favourite place.

We now encourage you to travel the world with us by taking a moment to traverse through the resulting postcards created especially for this exhibition.

Foreword by Cas Holmes:
Through the closely observed and documented notes of ‘place, and the diverse exploration of the mixed media and stitch process’, Making Connections students, have taken the time to explore, the world around them and delve a little deeper into their creative practice .
Each work in this exhibition invites you in to explore further, capturing the sense of a ‘moment, or of ‘time stopped’
Underlying the work is the daily connection students made to each other as they shared ideas and explored themes, some even sending postcards to each other.
I am delighted to be able to share the resulting beautiful and diverse works with you and in a sense continuing to pass a ‘Note From’ one to another in celebration
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour. William Blake
