Another glimmer of hope!

The Atkinson Gallery, Southport.

A few days ago I emailed and telephoned several local museums and galleries appealing for work experience. I also contacted the Textile Society in the hope that they may be able help me with my quest or at least point me in another direction. Alas the lady I spoke to said they where unable to assist me and unfortunately she was not a liberty to give out any of the artist details.

I have since received two emails, the first being from the Merseyside museums and galleries again saying sorry they could not help and the second one was from the Atkinson Gallery who also said the same. However, the gentleman who replied to me from the Atkinson Gallery (Stephen Whittle, Museum & Gallery Manager) suggested that I might be interested in becoming a volunteer. He even went as far as to send me a link to the application form.  After checking with my university lecturer to ensure that volunteering met the module criteria as work experience I filled in the application form and I am awaiting there reply.
