Just back in UK after a short trip and quickly into the business of looking for premises. Jill and Rosie have been busy and we see two premises today that have potential but each with different challenges.
One is fairly central in Kendal but is much higher cost and would need a lot of work to get it ready. The other is out of town but needing much less work.
The pressure is on to find a permanent replacement building but so much research needs to be done to ensure it would be sustainable – rent, rates, fire regs, building insurance, heating and lighting etc etc apart from the set up costs of fitting out.
It’s a full time job at a time when there are so many other demands on our time.
We are still looking for more options at present.
In Reims last week I saw an installation in an open square of wooden spheres and slabs that were treated with bitumen and I immediately saw them as burnt timber. Ideas formed.
