Our new studio made the front page of Architects Journal website! Thanks to Takero Shimazaki and t-sa Architecture, and to Anton Gorlenko for the beautiful photographs.
Since our last post we’re delighted to say, we have launched! We held our Lift Off Launch party supported by Everards on Tuesday 3 November and followed that up with Our Big Open Weekend on 7 & 8 November where we sold prints, showed people round the building, held printmaking activities to celebrate Diwali, demonstrated printmaking by screen printing our Rugby World Cup poster and litho printing an exhibition poster. The builders are snagging, we’re having some follow up works done as we get used to the site and make a few tweaks and our final pieces of equipment are on order or being made. We’re open for business but we’ll be spending the weeks up until Christmas finishing everything off.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported Our Big Move over the past year or so and to everyone who came to join our launch events.
We made great progress at our big volunteering weekend (ii) with cleaning, painting, carpentry, cleaning, gardening and more cleaning. We are less than two weeks away from our big launch weekend on 7th and 8th November and there is still lots to do. Thank you to all the volunteers who came on Saturday and Sunday and all those who are booked to come in this week. We’re getting there!
Time lapse film showing Our Big Move to 50. St. George Street
3 minutes of film showing 6 months of building work. It stops at the stage we were at a couple of weeks ago, there’s a lot more been happening since then! Only two weeks until we open....
Today was the first of our big volunteering days. We had about 20 people helping out with painting, sweeping, carrying, woodworking and making lunch and tea. Home made biscuits and cake, lovely fresh sandwiches and numerous cups of tea kept us going. By the end of tomorrow we will have built the structure for our upstairs studios and painted the kitchen and all the utility rooms and store rooms. On Monday after the builders pack up for the day a team of volunteers will be going in to paint some of the floor upstairs and then in two weeks time, when the builders have left site, there’ll be cleaning, painting, tidying, unpacking, gardening and much more to do. We’re heading for the final furlong! Thank you very much to everyone who helped out, we had a great time with you all.
It’s just a month until we open our new doors for our LAUNCH WEEKEND on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November. Read more about it here! We hope to see you there.
