Starting September 1 2021 when I opened AndyKnillArt Studio, 21 Commercial Road, Swanage. June 5th 2022 – Art for fun activity reached 500 participants between the ages of 16 months and mid 80s years. This is what AndyKnillArt is really about, selling my art work is lovely and a great privilege and compliment for my …
A busy one! As I had set up this morning a group of older teens appeared in Commercial road, I told them about Art for fun not really expecting any success, but heh you have to try. Next thing we had 8 and then a 9th of a group of 17 and 18year olds drawing …
So, Wednesday June 1st and back at the studio for the last two days on what are my normal working days. The art weeks have started well for me, just over a week ago I was worried I wouldn’t sell enough art to cover the studio’s rent last month. Now five days on and the …
Today, no studio and shop for me as I had a stewarding duty at the main exhibition at Rollington Barn. Arriving slightly early, I got to add card replacements for those sold so far over the first weekend. My boiler suit especially gained comments, both the one I was wearing and also the one on …

I set up outside the shop as early sunniness, but it clouded over and a few raindrops that became a shower and meant cleaning away inside. This was repeated twice. I took some photos from the …

Since thenI have had the absolute pleasure to share my drawing tables and the art for fun activity with 67 participants from 2 year olds to adults in their 50/60s . I find myself explaining the background …
Another day with 12 participants. Including a family of 5 inc mum and dad we had seen this morning pre work at down the beach. So lots of art chat and drawings. Cards and original postcards drawn. Now 50 participants in 4 days of this school holiday. I added to the hat which is now …
So, regular readers sorry about that I tuned out for a bit. Chest infection got the better of me and my creativity. I closed the shop for a week and retuned on Wednesday April 13th. In three shop sessions where I have sat out each day I have had the opportunity to welcome 37 art …
So first day back after a week off. The town was quiet today so flag was out and the wooden signs and the new hanging sign, I did get some visitors, some new, some repeat visitors. ‘last of the leaves’ sold another print and a card for someone else. I did some tidying up, I …
