Instagram - A visual diary to myself and others.

I have two Instagram accounts:

@stuart.hicking

Here I have all my posts about the artwork I’m currently engaged in. There are reports of experiments or, often or not, obsessions about materials, processes or something that has caught my eye. I use it as a visual diary that reminds what I was thinking and when.

@Pop-Up Art Stalls Leicester

This is my account blog on the Pop Up Stall project based at The Exchange Bar, Leicester. This monthly event started out as a New Year’s resolution in January 2025. I was determined to have an art stall, at least, once every month for a year, just to see how successful it could be. Prior to that, I’d had about three attempts at selling my artwork this way. The first was quite good but it was followed by two disasters!

A good way to spend a Thursday evening out at Great Glen. Met some lovely people who came out despite the cold and wet. Well done everyone x @pennburyfarm @theexchangebar_ @creativescollabcollective @visitleicestershire @leicesterprintworkshop #handm

Lucky enough to have two prints accepted at the Rugby Open 2025. The preview was on Friday night. It was my first time to Rugby Art Gallery & Museum, it’s a lovely venue and was well attended. Worth a visit any time of the year. Thanks to

It seems an age since I was out and about selling my work. Can’t wait until Sunday at The Venue @ DMU. Come and say hello if you can 😁 @thecraftandflea @visitleicester @creative_shires @creativescollabcollective @popupartleicester #handmadewithlove #handmade #leicesterartist @getcraftedleicester @leicesterprintworkshop
Made it down to the Leicester Open Exhibition and had a nice chat with lots of friends and fellow creatives. I managed to grab a few photos of my work. There’s some great work on display, well worth a visit! @leicestermuseums @visitleicester #
