The space at Ty Pawb has been wonderful and the staff really friendly and helpful. I was a little nervous at the start but everyone was very accommodating and helped me settle in very quickly.
The space is wonderful. The large, tall space has been very suitable for the rolls of wallpaper I am making. There is a great desk space to get on with admin, plenty working surface and wall space to spread out. It is well lit and comfortable to be in. I particularly like the position of the space. There is a large window facing the public as they walk past into the building and the entrance to the maker space is off the main entrance and reception so I don’t feel tucked away out of sight. There is always a healthy buzz around the place and no 2 days are the same.
I have had excellent mentoring from Tracy Simpson who has made me examine my practice and consider future options. My time here has increased my confidence. It has been so lovely to meet all sorts of people and I’ve had some fascinating conversations with visitors to the maker space. I have formed a successful collaboration with one of the other stall holders.
I have also had professional photos taken as part of the marketing carried out by Ty Pawb which has been fun and I couldn’t have taken photos like that myself so that has been another plus point.
All in all it has been a wonderful experience so far and my practice has benefitted greatly. I’m so glad I’ve done it and I am so grateful to the wonderful team here at Ty Pawb, all experts in their field and invaluable.
