A little idea for our studio window in Colinton…
I’ve been looking at the ground floor window of MDA Studio and wondering whether we could occasionally do something a little different with it.
I quite like having something in the window that changes from time to time and gives people passing by something interesting, or perhaps slightly unexpected, to look at.
And that got me thinking.
It might be nice to occasionally have a piece of someone else’s work in the studio.
Perhaps a sculpture, a piece of furniture, ceramics, lighting, an interesting object, or simply something really well made.
I’m not looking to turn the studio into a shop or a gallery. In fact, I’d rather it didn’t feel like either.
I just like the idea of occasionally having an interesting object or two sitting in the studio and giving the person who made it some visibility at the same time.
There is no charge, no commission and no grand plan behind it. If somebody sees something they like and it leads to a conversation with the maker, or even a sale, then brilliant, but that is not really the point.
For me it is more about the studio, the window and having something interesting for people passing through Colinton and the studio to enjoy.
It might be one piece for a few weeks. It might be something completely unexpected.
It is really just an idea, and I thought I would put it out there and see what happens.
So if you make something that you think might sit rather nicely in an architecture studio, or if this immediately makes you think of somebody else’s work, I’d love to hear from you.
