My new Studio Space
I have slowly been setting up my new studio space since the move & struggling with feeling comfortable and creative in the new space. The space is small, it’s a wierd “L” shape, it doesn’t have much natural light, or view or ventilation !! But…. I try to make the most of it, remain positive about it and try to love it ‘warts n’ all’ & make the space work for me. On the upside – it is solely my space, it has lots of nice shelving and I have good immediate access to undercover outside space with running water ! I’m still setting up but it’s at a workable stage now and I’ve started printmaking again. I’ve also been lucky enough to borrow a piece of very important equipment for a printmaker – A fabulous sturdy old brownbuilt paper drawer ! Hooray – no more rolling up my precious paper. This will make such a difference to me and will make life on the ‘paper front’ so much easier. Thanks April ! The space is coming together but I do miss my old Green Room.
Printmaking soothes my soul..........It can also be incredibly frustrating and technical but as I learn more, I am completely intrigued by the processes, variables and the scope for experimentation. I’m slowly building up my tool kit so that I can work from home. I’ve only just touched the tip of the iceberg – I have so much to learn about printmaking and many different printmaking techniques still to experience. My Green Room is my home studio and this blog is a journal of my printmaking explorations, investigations and experiments. 
Your Green Room was lovely and special but I’m sure you’ll do wonderful work in your new space. So nice to see you’re set up again.
Thanks Juanita. It took a while but it’s great to be set up again. Moving is so disruptive of the creative flow !!
Hi long lost sister! Your new studio looks great. I will try to call you tonight!
