Rejuvenated - the power of the collective

Since we moved into the studio, Cathie and I have been very busy 'nesting'. It's been very fun creating a space that we love to create in and others want to visit. So much fun that our work started to trickle out into the hall. First it started with the door, then the bathroom.

The other artists at NGB started to take note and they got the bug. After being complacent for a long time with it, they were rejuvenated by our actions to make the common spaces more attractive. So Julie (Davidson Smith, a very talented painter and encaustic artist) painted the bathroom and painted a notice board in the hall. I added to it, then Julie made a new sign, Jane (a potter) painted her spools, and the list continues.

Sometimes it just takes a newbie, a new influence, some fresh blood (or ideas) to start the ball rolling. And once it does, it bound to roll in many great directions!

PS - We are holding a demo day at NGB on November 14 from noon - 4. Come by see us work (and check out the new common space all decked out now)
