{"__prefix":"content","__cdata":"This month is Women’s History Month, and we thought it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate our female artists. These wonderful women brought their talents, their individuality and their energy to create diverse, spectacular works of art. From writing to painting, pottery to performance, these artists represent women across the world and cultures.\n\nThis week we have four artists who have inspired us through their artist residencies. Click on the buttons to read more detail about their residency, or their names to find out more about the artist.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n[vc_row][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_single_image image=\"28502\" img_size=\"475 x 512\" css=\".vc_custom_1647517802957{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"3/4\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Zakia Sewell\" font_container=\"tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fzzzakia%2F%3Fhl%3Den|target:_blank\"][vc_column_text]London based broadcaster, writer and DJ, Zakia Sewell, used her residency to continue research and writing for her show ‘My Albion’ about myth and folklore.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\"Check out her blog\" style=\"3d\" color=\"blue\" size=\"sm\" align=\"left\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk%2Fartist%2Fzakia-sewell%2F|target:_blank\" css=\".vc_custom_1647517281477{margin-top: 2% !important;}\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_single_image image=\"28879\" img_size=\"475 x 512\" css=\".vc_custom_1647517808816{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"3/4\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Emily Barker\" font_container=\"tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEmilyBarkerHalo%2F|target:_blank\"][vc_column_text]Songwriter, film and TV composer, and poet, Emily Barker, used her residency to hide away and devote her time to her songs and poetry.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\"Check out her blog\" style=\"3d\" color=\"blue\" size=\"sm\" align=\"left\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk%2Fartist%2Femily-barker%2F|target:_blank\" css=\".vc_custom_1647517420207{margin-top: 2% !important;}\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_single_image image=\"28889\" img_size=\"475 x 512\" css=\".vc_custom_1647517815104{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"3/4\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Lauren Doughty\" font_container=\"tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Flaurendoughty_%2F|target:_blank\"][vc_column_text]London based artist and illustrator, Lauren Doughty, used her residency to further her research on the natural world and human’s connection to nature.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\"Check out her blog\" style=\"3d\" color=\"blue\" size=\"sm\" align=\"left\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk%2Fartist%2Flauren-doughty%2F|target:_blank\" css=\".vc_custom_1647517482595{margin-top: 2% !important;}\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_single_image image=\"29499\" img_size=\"475 x 512\" css=\".vc_custom_1647524891152{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}\"][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"3/4\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Fiona Eadie\" font_container=\"tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" link=\"url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fionaeadiestoryteller.com%2Fblog%2F|target:_blank\"][vc_column_text]Storyteller of traditional tales and stories for occasions, Fiona Eadie, used her residency to relax, inspire and nourish herself and her creativity.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=\"Check out her blog\" style=\"3d\" color=\"blue\" size=\"sm\" align=\"left\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk%2Fartist%2Ffiona-eadie%2F|target:_blank\" css=\".vc_custom_1647522634002{margin-top: 2% !important;}\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=\".vc_custom_1647525009709{margin-top: 15px !important;}\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1647525087186{margin-top: 15px !important;}\"]\n
