I am happy to report that my studio space has become larger. I have recently moved down the building at Banks Mill Studios, from the 4th floor into a new studio. I’m now based on the 1st floor. Its a lot more accessible for visitors and I now have enough room to teach workshops. Watch this space for workshop dates.
