I am still putting things away after the Sheep Dog Trials
and the lino workshop – or rather trying to find somewhere to put them. I shall
be so glad to have a studio and an organised space, or even some space would be
nice! Running an art workshop in venues away from home requires quite a bit of
planning and carting stuff about. So I have invested in a neat travel case for
all my workshop materials. The case is made by ArtBin and designed to carry a
sewing machine in the bottom part (so nice and strong), and all your bits &
bobs in the detachable shoulder bag. I bought a selection of “Really Useful
Boxes” to fit neatly inside the compartments and am gradually filling them with
materials for various different workshops. There’s no sewing machine in there
of course and so far no paint brushes, but you will find a hair dryer, bathroom
tiles and a set of spoons! These materials were put to use last weekend at my
lino workshop. The hairdryer to soften the lino, the tiles to roll ink ,and the
spoons to create the prints.........
