…. living the dream…..

I know it's not very British to blow our own trumpet, but I have to confess we were tickled pink by the wonderful article written by Vinny Lee for the Times' newspaper.  Vinny and  photographer, Alexander James, spent a couple of days with us last summer and were blown away by L'Espace, our studio space and accommodation.  Little did we expect that six months later there would be a five page spread in the weekend Saturday Colour Supplement.  

If you want to read more here are the pdf files:  page 3, page 4, page 5

Meanwhile, our busy workshop leaders have been madly productive, supervising day courses, completing commissions and generally beavering away at what they do best.  Here are some photographs of what one or two of them have been up to since the new year.
