…december 2018 news…

 

 

” a rare, a written thing; the song that winter brings”

 

46115173_10156935414751177_1282560024375197696_n

this year has brought changes as most days & years do.

 

the practice has a new studio in bala, and a new agenda here in the home studio.

both places afford space for me to work and to teach when requested.

 

for any information about visiting or learning ; even chatting do mail me

 

sonja@sonja-benskin-mesher.com

 

the new work agenda brings a focus in the studios on my own ideas and my inclusion in collaborative projects

so rather than list the projects where the work is shown i feel it enough to say that i will remain involved with those galleries and publications that request work

so as we lead up to midwinter i move forward with excitement and pleasure with this new beginning
