In this episode Laura interviews Georgie Grant, Co-Director of The Onion Collective CIC based in Watchet, West Somerset. “The Onions” met as a group of mums in the town – some local and some new, but all with a desire to improve the area for their children. Bringing their skills, and friendships, to the table they set about to find out what the residents of Watchet also wanted to see happen to improve where they live. Over years of development and fundraising the result is a fascinating new building. Recently opened, the East Quay development is a community hub, youth space and art gallery. The ideas of generations of the town fed into the design but it was this group of mums driving it to happen over 9 years.

Bedwyr Williams and I talk about his ideal studio - a house - and how he is currently making work in his kitchen, bed, shed, and chair and angry morning and absurd evening drawings. We talk about his intsagram drawings and the characters and themes running through them. We discuss shoes and having big feet. We discuss embarrassment and feeling stupid, comic timing and swearing at yourself. We talk about feet far away from the mouth, jelly legs and collaborations. Bedwyr talks about the gallery as a place where anything goes and making work for self-satisfaction. We end on Michael Jordan and sleep, getting tucked in by a stone wizard to rain sounds and white noise.
