Since a few months hubby rents this studio with four other men interested in wood work.
They are making boats, instruments, restoring furniture etc.
It is located on the grounds of an old textile factory which is not running anymore.
Opposite the studio there is a cinema playing old movies with old projectors.
It is a location where many artists work and therefore the surrounding is very inspiring:
Upstairs is the cinema "Lichtspiel".
Entering the studio...
One associate is making his own kajak which means a lot of accurate work for one year...
Sometimes also women are allowed to work there - I sanded off some furniture and painted them:
On the other side of the workshop is a pottery...
Hereafter is the decoy duck hubby is carving presently.
It is not finished yet but I think it looks lovely and alive already:
A sneak peek from the studio to the outside:
Well, that is where we are spending our staycation at the moment -
tomorrow we are off to France - Paul wants to buy wood...
Hope you are all well and doing things that bring joy to your hearts and souls!

Hej Christa,
ReplyDeletedas nenne ich mal Werkstatt!
Hier habe ich auch schon mal versucht, einen Workshop für Holzbearbeitung zu machen,
aber auf dem Dorf oder in kleineren Städten wir so etwas leider nicht angeboten!
Das Schränkchen, das du dort streichst sieht sehr schön aus!
Viel Spaß in Frankreich!
♥lichst

That's a great space and I'm impressed by how tidy everything is. I quite like the outside of the building too.
ReplyDeleteSuch an attractive creative space - to share it with like minded people makes it even more special. Love the plants too..
ReplyDeleteFantastic space Christa! Tell Paul that he can enter his "decoy duck" in the next Formula 1 Grand Prix... at the moment it looks like a car, but... remember the Ugly Duckling? One day, that little car will grow into a beautiful FERRARI... pardon... decoy duck! PROMISE!
ReplyDeleteThe workshop is well organised and full of all sorts of tools... and it's clean!
ENJOY FRANCE!
