Hi everyone
News to date is that I have been renovating the back exhibition room over the past 2 months. First the wall was knocked out and a big steel support beam put in. This was needed so we wouldn't get an unexpected visit from Steve, the guy who has the office directly above The Hive. Paul the builder had to knock out one red Canberra brick at a time, as they were covered in thick, hard render. I managed to close the shop for just 2 days and in that time I had to move and cover all the stock in the shop and then be the barrow girl for Paul and Anthony breaking down the wall. Exhausting and dusty work but the space looks fantastic opened up. Last weekend Paul started building the new 5 metre long glass showcase. It is going to be amazing.
Exhibitions won't be happening in the same way as they used to. The space will still be an exhibiting space for Australian artists and designers but The Hive will now showcase a number of artists at one time. Works will still range from ceramics, jewellery, small sculpture and small artworks, textiles, glass and wood. I have a number of artists lined up and can reveal two of them- a new product launch by Cloth fabric and ceramics by Sharon Wessels in mid October.
I'll keep you posted when the space re-opens.
Cheers
Jenny
