Inspirational artist: Sophie Giblin

Memorphosis by Sophie Giblin. Photography by Steven Glashier.I met Sophie Giblin when I did the inaugural Secret Salad Society at the Wild School in Brighton.  I think 2013? The Wild School was an experimental learning places set up by Charles Davis, Graham Walker and Premsager Rose.  It hosted many events and workshops that were all based on needs and ran by Wild School members.  It was a summer of collaboration, random events (making musical instruments out of vegetables, wild singing, very clear ideas, humming, improvisation....and of course Secret Salad Society)  I also did the humming workshop with Sophie.

Sophie did her first Fast Art workshop at the Wild School and went on to succesfully crowd fund a few pop up Art Galleries around Brighton.  I ran an Art Journaling session at her first gallery (my first Art gathering!) and taught Yoga at her second.  She is an incredible whirlwind of energy and initiative and totally inspiring.  She is currently living and working in New Zealand.
