For my practice it seems appropriate that I should be visiting crafters and makers studio's, more so than graphic design studio's, as it is what I am interested in, what I want to do, and what I am good at. I began by first visiting the 'Wee Byre Studio' which is an open studio of craft just up the hill from my village at home.
My village:
Wee Byre Studio: Helen Houston creates mirrors and blackboards from upcycled driftwood she finds. She also produces lovely photography prints. It was good to see someone making a living from making things.
