Had my first day in Loudwater studio, great to sort out a space to work and start to get things ready for this new project.
Loudwater is a community art space set up 17 years ago by Vision Homes, its based on an industrial estate just on the outskirts of the old market town of Ludlow.
It offers local people the opportunity to engage in a range of arts and crafts activities in an open studio environment. Its offers a cup of tea and a comfy sofa, a sound recording studio and equipment and comprehensive ceramic facilities on site including a wheel and ceramic kiln.
I’m starting to gather door handles for the project, ideally I’d like to get as many of these donated locally and we have started a campaign to get this news out to the community. I am also looking for local reclamation yards as well to source some.
I visited local business Shropshire Architectural Salvage today, the place is amazing, full of hidden treasures of every description, the owner was really helpful, Duncan generously donated some of the first door handles for the project.
Its this kind of generosity and community spirit with which this project relies on to really get it off the ground….
