After corresponding with Craig Oldham I had the opportunity to visit his studio in Manchester. His studio comprises primarily of him, with a handful of additional designers that work on a project-by-project basis.
Craig had asked to see a selection of my work, and I was able to show him my three previous copied of NEST magazine, two issues of Shy Bairns, and a handful of personal projects. He was interested in the variety of publications that I had worked on, and was particularly interested in Shy Bairns. He had prior knowledge of the collective and stated that our publications were the kind of work he hoped to publish more of through his own publishing house, Common Practices.
We discussed his recent projects, including In Loving Memory of Work, and his influence for this, and we explored some of his personal archive of publications. We then discussed the possibility of an internship and we agreed that two days a week at his studio in Manchester with paid expenses would be a suitable arrangement.
