Open Studio success

Well, that was my first open studio. It was great!

To my surprise I really enjoyed talking about my work; I suddenly have a way to engage with people, and the world at large that feels real, sincere. Seeing my work all together gave me an overview and began a dialogue between the emotional landscapes of different works.

I was lucky to have had such great visitors, about 60 of them, almost all enthusiastic and very complimentary. My location is peripheral to the main focus of the Open Studios event so many people were making a special trip to see my work, which I feel quite honoured by. There were a few intrepid explorers on bikes and even a couple from Bristol. A huge Thank-you if you visited my studio.

I know some people had a hard time finding my studio - I'm sorry about that, I added more signs for the second weekend. So if you missed me but would still like to see my work please email me or call me on 07916 574 124 and we can arrange something.

Open Studio - Welcome, please come in.

Welcome to my open studio:

My studio is now open, this weekend and next. Tea/coffee and home-made cake are being served. There are also some toilets for those of you attempting an open studio route.

I've had some lovely visitors so far, including a slightly disorientated swift which thankfully declined to comment! Many visitors so far have been life drawing enthusiasts themselves and I've been surprised just how much I have enjoyed talking to people about my work and what inspires it.

Do pop-in if your in the area, my studio is on the Bond's Mills Estate, near Stonehouse, (just off junction 13 of the M5), here is a map link to the estate. Park in the blue zone and follow the open studio signs to my studio. I hope to see you there!
