Art Classes coming out of lockdown

Jul 02 2020

It was so good to welcome some of my students back to the studio / gallery after lockdown to get creative again. Due to social distancing, much has changed in the studio / gallery – we have had to halve the size of classes and install perspex shields around each easel. An expensive exercise, but worth it to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Some really impressive work is being done – maybe absence has fuelled the creative urges!
