Just getting on with it, and 'Doing It Yourself' has always been a key characteristic of creative individuals. But creative folk also rarely work in isolation, and collaboration is also often at the heart of many inventive endeavours. The first Glug Edinburgh will hear from a range of inspiring talkers on this theme of DIY in its various guises; from Inventors, to Architects, to Illustrators and Performers.

Speakers

Dominic Wilcox is an artist, designer, inventor & 'thinkeruper' / www.dominicwilcox.com/

Dominic works within the territory of the 'everyday'. Everyday objects, environments, buildings, human interaction, no area of normality is out of reach. His work, which is usually layered with an ultra dry wit, places a spotlight on the banal, always adding a new, alternative perspective on things we take for granted.

Anna Gibb - Graduate Architect & Illustrator

She (in a team with Ross Anderson) was selected as one of the exhibiting architects in the British Council Pavillion at the forthcoming Venice Bieniale (August 2012), with a project exploring the Russian 'Paper Architecture' movement.

Paul Kerlaff - Designer / http://www.paulkerlaff.com/
