Yes Linda I was very lucky to talk the Abbey of the Roses into allowing us to use the room as it is a community project. If I asked them as a commercial operation say a studio, I doubt if I would have even got a hearing. The other choices of course weren't as nice as this, just old dance halls. This building is one of only a couple of sandstone buidings in our whole region. Believe me, there wasn't much to choose from. I was overwhelmed when they said yes, as I only asked out of a long shot and curiosity.

My son did a great job on my mother's day present. The wood platform is in two and comes out for ease of mobillity from the steel frame. Being 2 metres long it was awkward getting it up the stairs. The best part is it doubles as a double bed if even I need an extra one.

As we had a lot of first timers at the workshop, they preferred to use the tables with drawing boards. I think I had 8 at easels and 8 at tables. A few beginners used an easel for the first time.
