52 in 52 – Talk with designer Andy Glidden
Coinciding with Edinburgh’s International Book Festival, join us to hear the story of ’52 in 52′, International Designer Andy Glidden’s tiny well-being sketching idea that snowballed into a published book, art exhibition and £7,000 charitable donation.
International designer Andy Glidden, owner and creative Director of Glidden Design and Brand Communications takes a break from his day job to tell us about a tiny idea to free his mind and make time for himself that we can all embrace. In his case, he decided to leave his office at lunchtime one day a week for a whole year to do a quick sketch of the buildings and streets around his office, or wherever he happened to be, 15-minutes per sketch maximum, no rubbing out. A year later, the tiny idea had snowballed into publishing a book, staging an art exhibition and making a £7,000 charitable donation.
Come and hear Andy tell his story and hopefully be inspired to make your own ‘you time’. Andy will be around after the talk for a chat and will happily sign copies of his book, ’52 in 52, 15-minute sketches of Edinburgh and beyond’.
