The room

What it looks like before you sit down

There is no shopfront. Public workshops run in a room taken for the afternoon in Bedford, and a private session runs wherever you are in the Halifax region.

The workshop room before anybody arrives
A long table laid for a workshop
Workshop materials and tools at one place
Workshop tools and materials packed ready to travel
A long table dressed for a private gathering

These frames are placeholders while her own photographs are taken. The first public workshop is the shoot.

What a room needs

Not much, and she brings the rest

For a private session at your place, this is the whole list. Everything else arrives in boxes and leaves in them.

A table
One everyone can sit at, with room to work
Chairs
People are seated for most of the two hours
A sink
Nearby rather than in the room
A way in
Ground level or a lift, and somewhere to unload
