New Studio In Bristol


First kiln firing in my new studio. J and I have done three late nights this week. 24 hour access so we've been going after work and staying until we turn into pumpkins.


Last night I glazed about twenty earthenware jugs and painted a wooden display stand  bought for £4 in a charity shop in Frome.


Sharing a studio space with Jane Skuse and Martha Orr in Bristol called... In Bristol Studios. It's based in an 1830s Cotton Mill just off Feeder Road in Barton Hill. There are separate work spaces for woodwork, ceramics, print and textiles.



We filled our blank studio space with worktops from J's Dad's shed, shelving from the Ikea bargain corner and free bin, 20p shelving brackets and a shower curtain for a door. We were very proud that it cost us £7 each to kit it out so we have all have a workbench and shelving.
