Family time in the studio

Aunties and cousins travelled from as far as Australia to gather for a reunion at Ballard Farm. Given that our family is of a modest quantity, the presence of noise, laughter and fun was evidence of a really good time. Whilst the men took to the golf course the ladies stole a morning at the studio; of course this turned into a day as nothing starts in a hurry after a long session round the kitchen table the night before! After overcoming the fear and dread of 'original' design, we all got the creative juices flowing and had fun at the print table.

No pressure, even through we're all going to take a photo of your print.

Auntie Maureen test ran the studio for wheelchair users and was very pleased with the space and the ease within which she could move around.

Stephanie and Auntie Maureen - pleased!

There's something so exciting about lifting you first screen and realising your very own creation. Each and every print that comes through the studio carries something unique and special to that person who created it.

So who ever said teacher doesn't have pets?! No pressure on James and Cuan, but they did us proud at promoting our 'Kids Print Workshops' at the Tinahely show. They were delighted with their 1st and 2nd prices and have now got commissions from their twin brothers to print up a dragon and space scene for them also.

Coco is delighted to join our print sessions. She know to keep a low profile and can make a cosy foot rest whilst taking an afternoon nap under the table.

Babies and dogs are welcome too - I think!
