I won’t bore you to tears with acres of explanation, I’ll let the images tell the story – except to say… the new studio is FINISHED! Well, all except a few minor jobs.<\/p>\n

One vital job, that I forgot to mention earlier, was that our fields are easily waterlogged and our buildings have no drains to accept water from their roofs. That was then – but now we have had the drainage boys in!<\/p>\n

They laid a 6″ drain the full length of the field, ran off a spur to connect to four more spurs that drain the worst areas, AND the main drain continues behind all of the buildings to collect the roof run-off! In the meantime I spent a week moving a mountain of sand to fill in the old duck pond (no ducks, no geese, so no need for the pond).<\/p>\n

The new studio sits at the back of the yard as viewed from our lane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The furniture restored and painted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The laying of the carpet tiles is almost complete - at 1:20 am!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The new chairs have arrived...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
...and the sturdy tables. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My 1.0 x 1.2 metre A0 drawing board is installed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Almost finished now. My massively heavy drawing board was dismantled, dragged from the old studio (Heck, was I feeling my age!) and reassembled. It can be moved but it’s not something you’d want to do often! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My 30 year-old faithful Artograph was moved into the new studio. I don’t use it often these days but sometimes it’s invaluable. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Set up and ready to teach!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And finally, all I need is workshop attendees – which we had (a full house!)… except that I was so engrossed in teaching I forgot to take any photos! \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Oh well! Next time I WILL take photos! And you haven’t long to wait because we’re holding another Weekend Workshop on October 1st and 2nd. It’s already 50% booked so if you want to join us (and be royally fed by Jenny!) head over to my website for the full details:

Thanks for following the progress over the past year, and for all your good wishes along the way – I really do appreciate them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
