Open Studio time again

It doesn't seem that long since the last time we opened the studio - but that was back in July, so I guess it is!

This is our last hurrah for the art year and we are looking forward to sharing the new gallery space upstairs in the shed.

I mentioned we had set up downstairs for work and upstairs for show and here is what the upstairs looks like a bit…not the best light and photographs but you get the idea.

As you head up the stairs you go past some of my scarves, including my new favourite rusty nails and green tea..


At the landing there is a small display of both of our work.


Turn around and look up and there is the gallery space.


Some of Barry's treasures…



A wall of shared pieces


And some of my goodies in glass cabinets.


Here's a peek at some of what I've been up to this week in preparation.





We are open Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 November 2013, from 10am - 4pm each day. Coffee and tea will be on hand as well as some biscuits to keep your energy up and we look forward to catching up with as many folks as we can.

    1. I'd love to wander in thru your open orange doors one day Ronnie! It has taken us quite a while to sort ourselves to this place with the shed…but we are enjoying the moment!

  4. lovely - though i am going to admit that seeing all of that work makes me exhausted! the mental and physical hours that you put in are great. but my, it pays off when you see spaces so rich in art.

    1. Thanks MJ - I share your weariness in a way! It has been a full and productive year with so many wonderful opportunities; it's nice to be able to share with our supporters at the end of it. See you soon!

  5. What a lovely space - I wish you every piece of good luck!

    I posted about your last Thursday Thought on my blog - I hope you don't mind - but I found what you had to say most inspiring and it seemed to touch a nerve with me as I struggle to work out what I want to do in my work. Thank you.

    1. Thanks Robyn - at times the interweb just makes some things seem further away rather than closer!
