I lost a week’s trading earlier this month due to my chest infection and reopened on the 13th. 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 …

I had to shut the shop yesterday (Wednesday) and will need to do so again on Friday (tomorrow) as my current chest infection / asthma combination means that I can suddenly burst into fits of coughing. Not conducive to making visitors / customers feeling safe. I hope to be open on Saturday if possible but …
So yesterday, we collected 10 boxes of PAW22 brochures and delivered them to the studio. This morning I counted how many I had, then sent an email to the Swanage based distribution team and also another email to the Swanage Open Studio artists about having stock at the shop. I also contacted Tourist Information so …
