Studio Tour

posted:October 21, 2010

Last week saw the first open house event at Erlang House, the 9 floor tower block where I have my studio. Firstly, thanks to everyone who managed to stop by! We have over 120 studios in our block, so there was loads to see and it was a really good opportunity to meet some of the artists on the other floors.
I did mean to take a whole bunch of photos at the Private View evening but a couple of glasses of red wine and too much chit chat and I completely forgot. Oh well!
My studio is a modest 164 sq foot so taking a grand tour of the place doesn't really take so long, but here am some photos I took of my studio the morning after (following a tidy up). And just to clarify, it never usually looks this tidy.

Notice how I have casually thrown my work onto the coffee table.

I should mention that my studio is in Full-on showcase mode. My walls are normally not covered in my own work like this. I think that would drive me a bit stir crazy!

Tweeting. Of course.

One of the great things about finally having a dedicated studio is being able to move this sort of tat out of my living room.

I was so excited about the view when I first saw this studio. Frankly, in central London, I'd have been excited just to have window!

The other wall. A sofa is essential for those creative "power naps". Lovingly re-upholstered in vintage irish linen by my mum!

A few visitors were a bit miffed that I just COLLECT these covers.

more toys.

I love this rocking chair, but it takes a little getting used to. A bargain ebay find. Pfffth to craigslists.

I also had a few bits and bobs for sale over the weekend. I'm hoping to take part in a pop-up shop venture before christmas so this was a bit of a dummy run. Hopefully, I will get round to putting that online shop up now too.
