Neat News March

Chloe's Paints

Chloe's Paints

As the spring flowers start to bud and old winter crystals start to melt off our walls, the NEAT studio space has become a more productive space than ever before. Brushing aside the past days of confinement we have been busy little bees and made the Neat studio better than it has ever been before, we have invited the lovely Chloe Paull to the studio, she is already becoming the most productive of painters with such enthusiasm for art and bringing colour to all our lives.

Thank you Chloe.. xxx

With the days of Carboot Circus xmas Fair fun still in the backs of our minds, where Christmas cards, prints and paintings where flying off the walls. Here we are again with with another off the cuff opportunity to head for the St Werburgh’s Primary School Car Boot sale on Sat March 7 th. With the “Infinite Strength” at heart let’s go pack our boots and brush off our tables and shift STUFF, old, new, bits and bobs we all have at our studios and homes.

On the photographic side of things we have gone into our second year as a functional studio and managed to get out our hammers and drills again and made the second darkroom open for the team of photographers emerging here in Bristol.
