Studio Fund
Saving for a safe outdoor studio
I’ve been perfecting my leaf printing technique for years, and thanks to your support, my work has now reached a global audience. As my business has grown, so have the challenges — working at home has become unsafe due to the fumes from my process, especially with my first child on the way.
On sunny days, I work outdoors at a table, but rainy days make it impossible to keep creating. I’m now working to build a simple outdoor structure where I can continue making art safely without risking my family’s health.
Any extra donations will be going towards building a more permanent studio space and aid in the growth of the business, expanding with more art storage, running cost such as electricity, filters for air purifiers and other necessary equipment.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting my journey so far — to the point where I’m now facing positive challenges, like having too much work. it means a lot and I hope that I can work on a piece for you in the near future.
My Plan: From Temporary Setup to a Permanent Creative Studio
Firstly, I’m aiming to purchase a weatherproof metal shed that will serve as a functional, safe, and dry space to work in right away. This initial setup—costing approximately £600—will give me enough room to begin operating effectively while I gradually build upon it. I plan to build the space over time by adding essential features like proper flooring, lighting, an air purifier, and a canopy for outdoor work.
This solution will help me get started. Ideally the goal is to build a custom studio—a dedicated, professional environment where I can safely create and produce high-quality content. Thankfully, I have a skilled family member experienced in DIY construction who’s generously offered to help me bring this space to life. We estimate the total cost of materials for the full studio build will be around £2,500, and we’ll handle the construction ourselves to keep costs low.
Your support will help make this journey possible—from the initial shed to a purpose-built creative space that I can grow into and continue producing the best work I can.
