Help Save My Studio

This year, my print studio is finally being sold :( 

This unique space is a safe place for me to continue my research into alternate materials – creating accessible alternative materials for schools and charities in this difficult climate. It’s also the current (somewhat hidden) home of the Bristol Print Museum. I use this space for my work with local museums and arts groups (such as Mshed and the Müller Museum, among others) and it gives me the space to be able to work on these projects safely. Without this space, the museum project will be back years as I will be halted indefinitely.

I have been given the incredible chance to buy it first for a final chance to not only save my workspace, but also prevent this incredible building from being redeveloped into modern student housing. I need to raise a total of £130k to buy the space, but £65 must be raised in the next 5 months or else it will go to market (and be sold to a developer) So the main aim is to raise that first 65k. I know times are tough, especially with all the uncertainty going on at the moment, so please still support this project by booking a workshop, purchasing something in my shop, donating, or simply sharing with friends and family.

I know this is a wild Hail Mary and a lot to ask. But I truly believe that – with the love and support of my local community – this unique space can be saved from redevelopment, and my research and the work of the Print Museum can continue.

Thank you all x
