Old Art Transforming




It took us four days to paint the Old Art Room as the walls are
all tongue and grove boarding. 
Mum was drafted in to paint cupboards and the shelves.
These shelves turned out to have a story.
The room was a woodwork room before it was an Art Room 
and Harry Carter, relative of Howard Carter used to
teach wood work in here and he had made the shelves so 
all the tools could be neatly put away in the cupboard!
His wood carving is all around Norfolk including
 the Swaffham sign and in the church.
Before the Art or Woodwork room, when first built it was a Gym!
That accounts for the sprung floor!
Visit the Swaffham Museum HERE

Old Art Room,New Art Room





Finally I am able to blog about The Old Art Room 
which is now the new Art Room but called
"The Old ArtRoom"
This was the before pictures to The Old Art Room.
When I walked in I knew it would be a great space
for creating Art and over the last month it has proved so true.
So many have called through the door and so many are enjoying 
classes and using the space. More to come too!
Students who have come to visit who went to school here have shared 
their stories and think its great the building is having a new lease of life.
We, Stewart and I soon got to work transforming the space 
into a creative space for us to work in.
See the after photos.
