It looks like work has finally started on the studio building! The contractors were busy last week and the scaffolding is being put up. Despite the freezing cold we had a great turnout at the last session and have had a couple of new artists joining us over the last few weeks.
Above is a photo of the studio and an Autumn picture of leaves by Zubin & Matt.

It has been a while since the last update and quite a lot has happened. The exhibition at St James church was a big success and we nearly sold out of merchandise. We had a lot of interest from members of the local community who were keen to find out what we did and wanted to know more about the animal centre.
 
The budgie banner is complete and at the printers, we have a batch of Christmas cards in production and the artists have also been preparing designs for a Mencap Christmas card competition. Unfortunately we found out our application for art council funding was unsuccessful, but there are some other options for funding we are looking at and we still have enough funds to continue voluntary sessions into the New Year.
