My studio is in The Mill in Conway Street in Belfast. It’s a beautiful old building full of character (and characters!) and I’m at the very top, the penthouse suite if you like. Well that’s how I describe it when I have visitors. The mill was built in 1842 and was a flax spinning mill until it closed in 1976. It’s been battered and bruised and is now a vibrant place with lots happening, sometimes I can’t keep up with it all. One of the things I DO is give a guided historical textile tour of the mill (as I’m not there all the time, tours need to be pre-booked). It’s a fantastic place, you can almost breath in the history. And it’s random and rough around the edges, and that’s why I love it.
