A journey into the headspaces and workplaces of some of Britain's
most unique artists, from the co-author of the critically acclaimed
Holloway. Bill Drummond. Richard Lawrence. Stanley Donwood. Jenny
Saville. David Nash. Manic Street Preachers. Dame Judi Dench. Cally
Callomon. Sheryl Garratt. Vaughan Oliver. Jane Bown. Steve Gullick.
Stewart Lee. The Butcher of Common Sense. Robert Macfarlane.
Artists. Writers. Photographers. Musicians. A comedian. An actor. A
printer. An airship. The people interviewed in this book come from
all corners of Britain's cultural landscape but are united in their
commitment to their craft. At the beginning of this extraordinary
memoir, Dan Richards impulsively decides to build an airship in his
art school bar, an act of opposition which leads him to meet and
interview some of Britain's most extraordinary artists, craftsmen
and technicians in the spaces and environments in which they work.
His search for what it is that compels both him and them to create
becomes a profound examination of what it is to be an artist in
21st Century Britain, and an inspiring testament to the importance
of making art for art's sake.
