Everyday Cog

The biggest cinnamon scroll we’ve ever seen! Anna’s brought an oversized baked treat back from her holiday in Portugal. And a very nice tan.

Plotting and planning…. Sam and Matt are working on a site plan for Contact’s new website.

Ben’s stepped up to the cog bake off challenge this week, weighing in with a vegan chocolate mousse.

Christine Ayre, from King’s College London, is here for her bi-annual studio visit. Anna is showing her the brochure we’re working on for their Law School.

Michael’s at The Beaney, in Canterbury, for the opening of their exhibition of Grayson Perry’s The Vanity of Small Differences. Whilst there he met Jill Constantine, Head of Collections and Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England. And friends of Cog, Janice McGuinness and Jo Jones from Canterbury City Council.

Becca’s throwing a virtual paper plane around the world… while holding on tightly to her phone.

The team from Contact travelled down form Manchester to see us today. We squeezed in a lot of talk about websites and branding.

Anna’s a huge fan of colour. She may also be hiding her blushing as Michael raises questions of mortality and the meaning of life with a telesales caller.

Three anonymous Cog members complete the first step of branding

It’s lovely to have Katherine and Adam here from Royal College of Music. Hobnobs just sweeten the deal.

Anna’s received the full set of Marlowe Autumn brochures.

Michael’s learning to be a mentor for University of the Arts London. Here’s his late-night training group, in the top floor boardroom in High Holborn.

Ollie and Ben, from Making Music, are here to talk about a new project with Michael.

English National Ballet’s Daniel and Heather are here to look through their latest website designs.

Michael’s dog, Molly is here for a visit. She seems to have her eye on the rabbit from our garden’s mural.

Some sample stationery arrived today, much to the delight of Anna and Matt.

IT guy Chris is here to make sure our computer system keeps humming.

Sam was at the launch of Somerset House Studios, officially opened by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and artist Katie Patterson’s 100 Billion Suns.

Anna is distraught as her computer crashes, glitching through her favourite colour combinations.

Matt and Anna have brought Melissa a Friday treat from the market… one super sized, chocolate filled, sugar coated, fatty and delicious churro.

Our Halloween themed bake off final was presided over by Scary Mary Berry… here she is giving a piercing stare as Anna explains about her ‘Trick or Treat Jaffa Fakes’, which were excellent. Becca’s ‘Fraboisteins’ were immaculate blood splattered squares of joy. Dan’s day of the dead gingerbread skulls were colourful and delicious, and Melissa’s ‘Vegannus Horribilis’ cherry chokladboller were truly frightful. Scary Mary bestowed the Curse of the Star Baker on Becca, may her bottoms never be soggy!
