In 2021, Tim said: “People are keen to try something new and fun”, adding: “especially after the pandemic. I love sharing the techniques I use to create my work. We’ve already had lots of enquiries for the workshops, people have really missed this sort of thing in the last 18 months and face-to-face interaction. It’s great to be able to do this sort of thing again.”

“The lockdowns meant a quiet time for us, as they did for many people and subsequently I began producing much more art work; the pandemic really gave me the time to do it and that’s when I had the idea of opening a working art studio in town,” said Tim.

He also said: “I wanted a space that was accessible for local artists who would otherwise find it difficult to afford a rented space.”
