Shall we start looking for your second workshop in the North West .

I second that!!

unless you do the course Makeitbig, and then teach the rest of us!

I reckon Carl's second workshop might be the safer option lol

A second studio eh....... was thinking about getting a massive truck...all sign written out and going mobile.... silversmithing & lampwork mobile workshop.

Well you could, but Nickie and I couldn't work in that while you're not there lol, you would have to take us everywhere with you.

Have a second studio, we'll rent it out for classes and earn your rent and sit happily beading in it and drinking coffee (alcohol) while you are in your first studio. We only need a little corner - we will rent all the rest of the space out for handmade jewellery displays.
Okay - sorted, off to the estate agents. Back soon.

how did you get on at the estate agents.....

This was today at my studio where I held a forum (lampworkers only)social / tuition day - an open door free event.

Stop this outrage Carl...you're only doing this to have me and Karen go green with envy lol! Seriously though, I'd so love to get there even if was just for one class. I really don't know where you find the time or the energy- it looks fab! It's about time you moved north, Karen and I will keep searching for a suitable home lol!

Yes, the Estate agents were very helpful - on the budget I had which was 37p in my pocket, a crumpled 10p off hovis voucher and a sweet with fluff on it, I was shown some very well situated cardboard boxes in prime locations, so, imagine if we were to stick our necks out and try nd mke up £1 between us, we'd be laughing. So I say go for it.
