Sophie came to do work experience with us at West Studios from 9th - 13th July. Below are some of the things that she discovered during her time here.
'Autumn Shadows' by John Connolly
'Guernsey Blue Sparkle' by John Connolly.
At the same time as Sophie being with us, West Studios are displaying an exhibition of work by Artist John Connolly.
"I’ve come to West Studios for my Work Experience; these are some of my favourite things here -
John Connolly has beautiful pictures. I especially love his paintings of an autumn forest and a sparkly ocean."
A variety of ceramic pieces By Deborah (Drawn and Fired).
Ceramic dinosaurs and rabbits by Beth Cartwright
Sophie also got to look around at work done by our own tenants, and pieces that she found in our shop.
"Deb Langner and Beth Cartwright do amazing things – I didn’t realise how difficult ceramics were, and knowing about this makes you appreciate their work even more!"
"There are a lot of things on display too. All the cushions have lovely designs; as well as the crocheted tea light holders. I find Edie OP’s little comic booklets sweet and funny."
"I also just love the art studios in general. There are so many different things, everyone has their own style and they’re all so talented in what they do."
