🪗 MUSIC! 🪗

Here's a gathering of @tilsamka's art prints featuring musicians and musical instruments. There are bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies, horns and accordions, gatherings of strange and wonderful beings dancing around them

Good evening friends! Another of our Hedgespoken Picturehouse stories for you tonight. This one was recorded last winter during lockdown ~ a Romany story from Bukowina called THE SEER. It's a wonderful and unusual tale - enjoy!

A puppet I made in 2014, a kind of melancholic jester/Pierrot with a carved & painted wooden head & hands made from oven-hardening clay. I'm fond of him & he hangs wistfully in the corner of the @hedgespoken truck watching over things.

Well done! Brave and beautifully done. Being a father is the hardest thing I've ever done, by a dozen country mile… https://t.co/dF3rEtaH5b #Vimeo
