Hello and welcome to Art Juice. This is honest, generous and humorous conversations that will feed your creative soul and get you thinking with me, Alice Sheridan.

And me, Louise Fletcher. And today we're back for a little bit of a catch-up. We've both been busy doing other things, but we have

got a subject that we have both been working on, which I think is applicable for everybody,

which is talking around how you organise your studio and just in general, your work environment,

how that affects you, what you can do to change it, how you know when it's time to do

that. So we're going to be having a little bit of a chat about that. In the meantime, give me a bit of

an update. What have you been doing? Backwards and forwards between the new property where the

workshop will be and home. And yesterday yesterday when I arrived by a miracle the plasterers

who said they would come and do the plastering had come and done the plastering and it was

And then when I get back, I have a couple of days of studio time. So I have painting and tidy in my studio, which is what we put this up.

Actually, one big advance, though, that happened in my video in of my process, speaking, you were

saying earlier, you don't want to share anything. And I'm the opposite because I like sharing

what I'm doing. But I watched this guy on YouTube who's a young guy who's doing up a cottage in Scotland.

It's one of those niches you go down.

And I watch him video in his life up there in Scotland.

And he's very good with his videos at setting up a tripod and filming himself.

So it's not just him talking to you you're watching him

do the things yeah when i was tied in my studio i thought i wonder if i could do that like how hard

would it be so i got a tripod and set it up and then just picked it up and moved it around at various
