SweetTalk is the name of CandyCollective’s self-​initiated series of creative-​to cre­ative live events. Away of bring­ing together local cre­ative talent with inter­na­tional lumi­nar­ies in a relaxed, social envi­ron­ment. While orig­i­nally based in Ire­land (Dublin, Belfast, Lim­er­ick) the series has become pop­u­lar inter­na­tion­ally (London, New­cas­tle, Copen­hagen, Berlin, NYC) and now export­ing some of our lead­ing lights to enthuse others as well as focus­ing atten­tion on home­grown talent. To date they have held 33 edi­tions of SweetTalk in Ire­land (Dublin, Belfast, Lim­er­ick, Sligo), the UK (London, New­cas­tle), Ger­many (Berlin), Den­mark (Copen­hagen), USA (NYC) and in the next year we aim to expand SweetTalk into as many coun­tries as possible.

New work from Steve Simp­son cre­ated using Rory’s story cubes.
Rory’s story Cubes are a set of 9 dice. They have images instead of spots, the aim is to throw the cubes and make up a story based on the result.
If, like me, you some­times prefer to work to a brief when devel­op­ing your own work these are a a great idea. Would be great for comic strips as well as children’s books. To buy or find out more about Rory’s Cubes visit www.​the​cre​ativ​i​ty​hub.com
