@paigeockendon is an art school leader, producer, and self-described human chipmunk. She’s also eighth-generation Essex, with the surname Ockendon to prove it!

Paige leads @theotherma TOMA (The Other MA) in Southend, taking over from its founder @emerrrhhhh (big up!). Having previously studied on the course herself, she now helps create an alternative to traditional art school: MA-level art education designed around the realities of artists’ lives, making space for people juggling work, family, caring responsibilities, finances and everything else life throws at them.

TOMA is a place to become an artist — and stay an artist. The course welcomes people from all kinds of creative practices, building skills, knowledge, confidence and connections. The curriculum is shaped around the people taking part, so if you want to become a stonemason, why not? Previous guest @joannemorrison72 , the vocal improvisation artist, is a TOMA graduate too. Big up Emma, Paige and the whole TOMA community!

We talk about Paige’s journey from studying fine art to working at @metalsouthend in Southend, discovering the incredible breadth of Essex’s arts scene, and finding her creative superpower: ADMIN. Yes, spreadsheets! The magical place where creative ideas become actual projects. Paige is also producing Creative Breaktime, exploring whether creativity can help improve teacher retention in Essex.

There’s a lot of love for collaboration over competition, making arts education more accessible, and building a stronger creative community across Essex. TOMA offers a sliding scale of fees, with 70% of places reserved for people from Essex.

And the graduation ceremony? You receive a ceramic sausage on a fork. YES, REALLY. Big up TOMA ceramicist Richard Baxter.

Two podcasts. Two very different conversations celebrating creativity, heavy music and the people who make it happen.

ARE YOU CREATIVE?
with special guest Reino Lehtonen-Riley, Creative Director & Head Designer of @thegreatfrogldn

@mrnickhearne & @mittrasangita dive into @reinolr creative journey — from learning the craft of jewellery making, to business management, to building a career creating some of the most recognisable jewellery in rock and metal.

Expect stories about working with Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Metallica and the rock royalty who have worn The Great Frog’s iconic creations.

IN THE ABYSS
with special guest @joquailcello
A composer and virtuoso cellist.
Not only has Jo collaborated with some of the biggest post-rock & metal artists on the planet including Amenra, Enslaved, MONO and Aaron Stainthorpe, she has also performed at legendary festivals like Roadburn, Dunk & ArcTanGent. Jo is also a big old school metal fan so there may or may not be a bit of a Judas Priest love-in too!

Expect big opinions from @joeytregenza and @theoldbeandog , big riffs and a huge focus on supporting the grassroots and underground music scene.

Shooting 3D photos of the @luchabritannia madness @thegaragehq with @pocketdispo Parrallax lens. This night is insane - wrestling, comedy, cabaret, ducks!

You haven't lived until you've got bread shopping in Waitrose with a man duck wrestler. Since he's been champion he's started buying Gails!

Last night the most chaotic and joyful World Premiere of The Oddersy by Christopher Notlan aka @willnormanfilms 🤩 at @closeupfilmcentre

Will made this film in 3 weeks using only iMacs, no CGI, and screened it on the @apple iMac. Genius!

Featuring an insightful and hilarious QA with @jackhoward who kept a straight face throughout. Absolute genius.

Great to meet everyone involved in this production - especially the iMac itself. @madebyjwales @mikeyniss_video @ryanrcbw @ollyhills @radiocitydan @chowermusic @shackacann @fadumaxissa and so many more taken in Close-Up Cinema by @mrnickhearne

Outbreak was dusty fun - perfect for hardcore music loving chinchillas Show Me The Body, Salem, Deafheaven, JPEGmafia, Interpol, AFI, Ecca Vandal (too much backing track vocal 😭), Esdeekid (brought a full castle to the stage 🏰), Amyl, Idles and Deftones AMAZING. Mad the amount of corporate shit around the festival and terrible beer at the bar (Madri 🍻💀) by @mrnickhearne
