This is such a hard post to write. One of our longest standing studio members Benji Connell sadly passed away earlier this week. Benji was a big part of our community here at Blick, starting out in our Malone studios then moving to Cotton Court, where he made many good friends and will be dearly missed by all. 

He was an incredible creative talent and kind and generous person. He gave a lot of his time over the years to support Blick and Belfast’s design and creative community, speaking at events, helping organise exhibitions, supporting and advising other studio members and more. 

But most importantly he was a lovely person and over his time in Blick became a good friend and I will dearly miss our chats in the studio, which were almost always about his son Ollie who was so clearly loved by Benji.
Some great insights for creatives wanted to sell through retailers from Linzi Rooney owner of Born and Bred which sells unique gifts and accessories, created by artisans and craftspeople in Northern Ireland through their Belfast City Centre and online shop

Some lovely comments from some of our current and past creative residents!
This Sunday 8th March Blick resident @seasidebooksni have this great new course starting in our South Belfast Studios 

Pop Culture Poetics is a six-week workshop for writers, creators, and curious minds who want to explore how pop culture can serve as a powerful muse for poetic expression. Sessions start March 8, 2026 and will be held Sundays from 5-7pm GMT at Blick Studios. £40 per person.

Each week, we’ll unpack how the media we consume shapes our understanding of identity, authenticity, and art. From The Kardashians to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Instagram poetry, we will explore how culture is created and discuss poetry each week that utilises pop culture as a vehicle to examine race, class, gender, and sexuality. Prompts will be given each week to inspire participants to write poetry inspired by television, music, internet culture, and more. We’ll imagine the future of poetry through the lens of economic uncertainty, digital overload, and a search for authenticity in an age of constant performance, gaining a deeper understanding of pop culture as both mirror and muse. Whether you’re new to poetry or a seasoned writer looking to reignite your craft, Pop Culture Poetics invites you to bring your obsessions, your playlists, your timelines—and turn them into verse.
