I love going to studio visits. It feels like such an honour to be invited into the sacred space where an artist creates their work. Lately, I’ve been going to a studio visit a week (most are documented here).
Hosting a studio visit strikes the perfect balance between hospitality and professionalism. It’s akin to hosting someone at your home—you want them to feel welcome and at ease, with the added professional layer of wanting to invite them deeper into your practice.
