Exciting news! This morning I'm sat in the sun with a cup of tea and some porridge outside the Hearth at Horsley. I am delighted to announce that this is very soon to be the new location for my studio. I will be moving in in June and it's a fabulous attic space complete with slanty walls, beams and tonnes of character. Photos will have to wait till I've managed to shove my furniture up the stairs next week but I wanted to share the news with you prematurely as I am just so excited.
I had a fabulous year at Gibside but going forward I am thrilled to be joining the ranks of many talented artists including:
Rebecca Vincent
David Holiday
Mandy Patulo
Ruth Hicken
Sara Jane Palmer
Cathy Duncan
Kim Lewis and Melanie Hopwood.
You can find out more about the Hearth from their website. It's a stones throw away from Newcastle (straight down the A69 just past Heddon on the Wall) and has a lovely cafe plus a hall in which I intend on running workshops.
I hope to have the chance to see some of you there and I'll be sharing pictures of the move in the coming weeks.
Best, Jina
