it looks like I’ve got a studio at last! having spent 3 years trying to find an accessible good-sized studio close to home (at present I’m working out of our tiny utility room, 6ft x 9ft).
I can’t wait to get using this space… it used to be a hayloft above stables and is built from typical Norfolk flint and brick. Apparently swallows flit in and out in the summer, there are nests… but not in the studio area, so no bird poo where ill be working, thankfully.
It needs a lot of work but fortunately I know a ‘man who can’, we’ll I’m married to him, lucky me ;0)
I’ll be posting updates on our progress…
Mari French RI : contemporary artworks 
How totally excellent!! Super-excited for you :))
Where are you putting the printing press? lol!!
hi Elaine, thanks! yes, the press will be going in there (assuming we can get it up the rickety steps!). I’ll be able to use it at last! may need a refresher course in printmaking first :0)
It looks beautiful!! My kind of studio. Look forward to seeing you move in & updates via your blog!
thanks Rachael, I think it’s going to be great. I’ll now have space to spread out and work on a larger scale.
Looks like you could host dragons den in there! Good luck!
hi Luke! thanks for checking out my blog. :0)
Looks like an exciting project.
I’m really excited about it anthea :0)
Oh wow Mari, that looks perfect……an inspiring little personal niche; can’t wait to see you in it surrounded by all your arty stuff :o)
it’s great isn’t it! am already ordering cupboards, heaters etc. going to get a nice comfy chair to sit and contemplate with a brew!
