These are catchup posts as The Art Room has been great for
classes and I am catching up with posts.
These are some of the first workshops.
You can see the light is just wonderful.

Still Life
Every week I have decided to set up a new Still Life so there is something
different and interest to paint and photograph but also
allows me to teach the principles of painting and drawing.
When I was studying my Art Degree I investigated
the language and meaning behind the items within their paintings.

the items that artists would set up
Ready for Classes
Within a week of moving in The Old Art Room was ready for classes
and it is so light and bright especially with its new coat of paint
and the tables and some art work going up on the wall.

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!

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.
Old School Swaffham
Finding myself without a venue at the end of the summer
was a bit of a worry but that soon went when I was asked
to look at The Old School Swaffham.
It was originally Hammond's Sixth Form and before that
the Boys Grammer School.
It has got a long history and such an interesting building.
It was going to be levelled and turned into flats but the community
objected, good job too because
Lady Melanie Shaw- Sutton has brought it and it is now an
"Arts, Crafts, Antiques and Culture Centre.
I am what was the old Art Room!
Perfect!
