Studio taking shape

Before heading to Banff I moved my art materials and furniture into my new studio at Carliol House, but did not have the chance to sort it all out. I ordered some shelving units so that they would be waiting for me on my return. Last week they were, indeed, waiting for me to assemble (ah the joys of flat pack furniture) and put to good use. 

With the assistance of my very kind and capable parents, we erected the shelving units and positioned them ready for use. I couldn't resist testing out the shelves, but will need to spend some time sorting out the boxes.

Digital drawings accepted for the NewBridge community tea towel

Our first Mr and Mrs for the tea towel

Caught in the act of drawing

With less than a week to go until the deadline for drawings for the NewBridge community tea towel, the NewBridge art community in Newcastle, around the UK and further afield are busy working on and sending us their drawings. 

Keep them coming!

Raise A Mug research - My first school tea towel

It is often the case that at times of significance, a commemorative tea towel is made. This is no exception for the NewBridge community tea towel, as it is being made at this landmark stage in the organisations existence. As we move from the premises on NewBridge Street West, we are giving all those involved in this amazing group, the opportunity to be featured on the NewBridge Community tea towel. These limited edition artworks will be for sale in the NewBridge Bookshop, and word in the studios is that its the essential buy of 2017!

I've hunted out my first school tea towel as a source of inspiration. Do I really have such big ears?!
