The Studio
The studio at present has space for up to 10 students, although most of my visitors come alone or in a small group. All the materials and equipment are stored around the walls and clearly labelled. Please see the equipment list for a near-complete list of all the materials available.
There is also a cookery area with a stove and a large fridge for storing snacks and drinks, and a double sink with constant hot and cold water. French doors open out onto the patio and sun terrace area, the swimming pool (depending on season and availability) and the garden with fruit trees for chilling , and meditation or Yoga if you practise these. I like to meditate so I can help and guide you if you are a beginner.
There is quite a large collection of painting and mixed media books and needlework books, as well as books on art in general and artists, for people to read and relax – which they can do outside or in the quiet corner in the studio, which has two large sofas or outside. This area can also be used for group teaching, chats and group sessions.
Wifi is available throughout.
The studio is centrally heated during winter months using ecologically sound reconstituted pellets. In summer, the studio is usually cool and breezy, though fans are available in very hot weather.
I have tried hard to make it light, spacious and full of the ‘wow’ factor with a touch of zen!
