“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.”

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Mercator Studios at the Abbotsford Convent

 

The space I create my work in is part of Mercator Studios located within the grounds of the historic Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne. There are ten studios in the building inhabited by jewellers, designers, ceramicists and artists. Restoration of the Mercator building took place during 2009 and it was officially opened in 2010.
