After years of
searching for a way to express myself creatively
I've finally found my calling, lampworking gives
me the opportunity to tune in to myself, work with
amazing colours and take time out from my other
life as a mum and a wife, I also have a day job as
a Project Manager for a local
hospital. I do my lampworking at night when the
kids are in bed or on my days off work if my
husband is doing something with the kids, I'm
constantly itching to get in the studio and try
out new things!
Well I've finally
relocated to my studio (posh for converted shed
!!), and it's fantastic, I can get away and I have
everything in one place, it's perfect. The shed
was originally two brick sheds that we used for
storing gardening equipment, which we had to knock
in to one. The first job was to fit everything in
the garage which believe it or not was the most
difficult job. It's pretty basic and I haven't got
a proper extraction system in there yet which
means I have to work with both doors open, in fact
there are a few things to finish (a ceiling for
one) but I've moved in anyway and the rest will
get done as and when we have time.
My
Workstation and my reliable (if a little slow) Hot
Head Torch - Next thing is upgrading my torch
(hint hint to any friends and relatives having a
peek :-) birthday around the corner and Christmas
looming.
The
mirror is so that I can see if there are any
little people creeping up on me, although I do
have a safety gate in the doorway but at least I
can see what they're up to in the garden.
My Kiln -
yet to be named (Suggestions Welcome)

long shot of my studio
Thank you for
reading about me and I hope you enjoy my work,
Kate. |
