FAQs
My studio is based at my home address and parking is available on street. Parking restrictions apply Mon - Fri, 8am - 5pm for which a visitors permit will be lent which must be displayed in your vehicle for the duration of your visit.
Regrettably not as access to my studio is located on a sloping driveway and there is an unavoidable step up to the door frame. I also do not have a ground floor accessible bathroom.
