A NEW BEGINNING

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, last month came as a rather large challenge. I left the now old studio on Redchurch Street and relocated a few streets away. For those who don’t know Redchurch street has suddenly become “THE” street to be on in London with masses of press and a new train line to ship in the tourists landlords have understandably begun to capitalise on what they have. Unfortunately greed can change people and after months of being told my lease was secure, the inevitable happened.

I am now in a much more suitable surroundings, amongst other workshops occupied by talented friends that include, Sebastian Tarek, Clara Lacy and Jack du Rose to name a few.

Introducing Buddy

I would like to introduce Buddy, he is my friend Niamhs puppy. After spending new years in Ireland with him and then having him sleep on my lap the whole way back from Ireland id like to think we are mates.

Ive been looking after him from time to time and yesterday hung out all day and because it was so cold gave him the scarf he’s wearing.

Its safe to say if you visit my studio regularly you will at some point be lucky enough to meet him.

Ireland I Love You

I went to Lahinch on the west coast of Ireland for new year. 18 friends both old and new got together for the most ‘wholesome’ new year i have ever had. Great people, silly games, incredible amounts of Guinness and swimming in the sea every day, i couldn’t have asked for more.
