Google Calendar as a Todo List & Task Management App My name’s Zee and I’m a task management freak… I’ve tried rememberthemilk, todoist, sandy, basecamp to do’s and a host of others – but although all are superb apps, I always felt there was a more suitable out there. Recently, i’ve been trying a brand new way of managing my tasks alongside our team tasks – and strangely it is working better than anything I have tried before.

Similarly, for me it’s imperative to produce work that’s entirely handmade in the UK, and to reuse fabric that’s been thrown away. Artist's Statement session Explaining my practice to other people has always been my idea of hell. These sessions have given me confidence. Weird shit from wood

Lifestyle | Shops | News | Hygge pop-up shop opens Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is a Danish word encompassing feelings of snugness, warmth and happiness - although of course you already know that as hygge is everywhere this year. It's also the name of a pop-up shop open on the Christmas Steps Gallery until December 4 showcasing designers from across Bristol and the South West.

A soft, colour changing mood light designed by local artist Anna Glasbrook is mounted to the wall and creates a warm glow, while tufted, colourful drum stools and cubes handcrafted by curator Anna Gravelle add to the cosy vibe. Anna is a textile and surface pattern designer from Wraxall who has carefully selected artists and makers whose works reflect this idea of cosy living.

Putting the Arts to Work for City Resilience: Creative Placemaking - Bristol Green Capital Bristol Bearpit, 2014 Bristol’s status as European Green Capital 2015, and one of the Rockerfeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities, is in no small part thanks to the role that arts and culture has played in the city and the collaborative way in which community leaders, collectives, artists and citizens have curated their own urban environments. Creative placemaking across the city has helped to provoke new perspectives, create stronger social ties, and promote the artistic and resilient spirit that Bristol is celebrated for. Murals in Stokes Croft The Peoples Republic of Stoke Croft was founded to encourage artistic intervention and foster a strong sense of identity and community in the area, whilst the regeneration of the Bear Pit has visibly demonstrated the social, artistic and economic benefits of redefining a space through a creative approach.
