So it's here. 2019. The year I officially take over the Station. I am beyond excited!
It's nearing the end of January and I am so tired. We have had a sort-out and have cleaned everything from top to bottom. We have almost finished the painting, my clothes constantly stink of gloss paint. In fact the whole station smells of paint. I barely notice it anymore. We have fillered, sanded, painted and repainted the ceilings, walls, coving, skirting boards and window frames. It has taken 4 of us almost a whole month but hopefully we will never have to do it again in one go! I wanted a fresh start so everything is getting a makeover. Even the toilet is having a new seat!
I love this building and it's about time it showed. The council managed to get round to fixing the sash window (just one) in the studio so we can actually open it now for the deadly hot summers.
All the stuff in storage is being sorted through in the next few days, the hotshop is getting shuffled to hopefully make better use of the small space and the plinths are getting a new coat of paint once we have stopped using them as storage for all the stuff that we had to move in order to paint. It's all go and I feel like I haven't slept so far this year but I am happy. I am happy and looking forward to the future.
My journey as a young(ish) female glassmaker based in the UK. Likely to include thoughts, projects, gallery/exhibition visits and mini rants.
