There was a big effort to let people know the studios would be open and a few opened their doors on the Saturday in advance of the advertised opening on Sunday – but we were still hanging pictures and moving furniture so could not open early.
Claire’s husband, David (aka Ben), was our technician and did a great job of finding cheap and effective hanging solutions. He also has a great eye for a level line – invaluable when hanging pictures!
When Sunday dawned, Janet was unable to go to the studio due to a flare up of rheumatoid arthritis (triggered by preparing for the day). Claire and her family looked after the studio all day and greeted all the visitors. Some feedback indicated that some people were visiting as a result of seeing flyers we had put in local venues.
We were delighted that people managed to find us and that initial feedback seemed positive. A couple of people even made a return visit. We learned quite a lot about how to display things in the space and are looking forward to taking part in the next open studios event.
