We’ve just spent the morning in the photography studio, taking pictures of some of our latest work. Keep your eye out for a load of new pics emerging on our site over the next few days and weeks!

Personal poster project.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last year. It’s been a great year and we’re anticipating another exciting year ahead. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Last weekend was our first Open Studios at Banks’ Mill. Around a thousand people came to the Studios for a meander round the studio spaces of artists, jewellery designers, photographers, sculptors and graphic designers.

On Friday night, we brought in 60 bottles of beer to give away to visitors, whilst setting up Nintendo Wii with Mario Kart for anyone brave enough to take us on. The problem turned out to be that we had no idea how to set up the controllers for the console, leaving me searching for a ten year old to show me how it’s done!

Saturday and Sunday, we served bacon cobs and coffee to our guests and fellow tenants, which went down a storm. We met lots of cool people, spoke to groups of students from the university (including some from the Czech Republic) and had the opportunity to make friends with some of the other tenants in the studios.

Overall it was a great experience, and we’re looking forward to next year. Bacon cob anyone?

In the studio we have a magnetic board with our logo on, which means people can rearrange the letters and make anagrams of our names. Someone came up with this one over the weekend and I think it’s a fairly accurate description of us! If you can come up with a better one, let us know and we’ll post it up here for everyone to see.
