Wales and Lockdown – Friday 23rd October 2020
In Lockdown don’t be down set up a home studio – art cupboard. Why don’t you convert a small space in your home into a studio. It can be a corner of a room, shed or garage. I have an art cupboard which is and old kitchen unit which has a drop down table, ideal for working and containing my mess. An old bureau would work really well as well.

New YouTube Channel
This is my most recent venture. I set up my YouTube channel in April 2020 as a result of all educational facilities in Wales being temporarily closed. I needed to keep in touch with my students and this is how I did it.
