Starting to take shape.

Verdigris Creative Studio is one step closer to being a working studio.
Its been a hard slog the last few weeks and for a while it didnt look like any  of the hard work was making a difference.
 When you first go into a building you  can imagine the beauty peeping through the peeling paint and worn carpet and the vision of what things will look like and how you will go about doing it seems so clear at the time.

Then when you start the work the reality of it is that every job you undertake  especially in a very old building like ours actually takes about three times as long and costs about three times as much as you had planned on. I have no idea and would not even like to hazard a guess as to when we will be ready to open but in the meantime we are having fun do it and when it is finished it will be an amazing and inspiring place to create in.

You cant tell from the pic but there is now a lot more
natural light in the kitchen area.
