Working in the Studio

I worked in the studio solidly for two weeks during Norfolk Open Studios presenting demonstrations and enjoyed all the visitors that came. Over a hundred visitors in the two weeks so that was wonderful. Thank you to everyone!
See how the studio was set out in Welcome to my Studio HERE
A very long list of those who want to come and have studio sessions in August and September.
I closed the door took in the signs, for a while anyway and on the Monday I was working in the studio again, Jenn took a photograph as she said it looked so colourful and it is now my Studio page on my website www.art2inspire.co.uk
I have started to dismantle some of the displays as they are a distraction and new work needs to be created.

Tuesday Girls Visit to the Studio

Some of my students who attend the Tuesday Mixed Media Classes @The Gallery Dereham came along to visit me in my studio. What a day we had! I did find it funny seven in the studio at a time but five seemed to always in my store room area, how they all got in there I don't know but the photograph proves it, it begs the question. "How many students can you get in Jane's studio?".
We had a lovely lunch on the veranda and they all wandered around the garden.
Helen was kind enough to make some scrapbook pages of the day. You can click on these photographs to enlarge to really see the giggles and comments.

Open Studio Open Garden

With visitors looking around my studio they also like to look around our three quarters of an acre garden. Stewart and I had managed to do a little tidying up in between the rain and the rain and the rain. But when the sun did shine the garden looked great.

Welcome to my studio

I must admit I crammed a lot of colour in the studio this year!
The studio is not normally as full as this but for Open Studios I dress it in Quilts and Textiles and because it is a working studio all my work areas have the materials and tools ready to demonstrate techniques. Each day I demonstrate a different technique and I have cards detailing how to do it. These are available to buy. I have a list for those who want classes in my studio and in other venues so visitors can sign up to them if they wish. Also on exhibit were the City and Guilds Stitchbooks, a wonderful addition. I Open my studio to students from the end of July. They are day sessions and you can specialise in the techniques you wish to learn or have a taster day of several.
