Greetings, dear reader! Happy July to you. I hope you were able to celebrate the summer solstice and enjoy the extra hours of sun light.
I have news! ArtStudioCB has moved to Aberdare Market! The stall/studio opened 24th June 2025. I sell my art and crafts, as well as facilitating creative workshops from the space.
It’s a welcome development in my art practice, as I desperately needed a studio space. After a spring craft fair event where I found great joy in speaking directly with customers, I decided to combine a studio with a shop/stall. Aberdare Market have offered a warm welcome, for which I’m grateful.

I’m also attending a Summer Arts Intensive here in Rhondda Cynon Taff. We will be looking at trauma informed practice over two weeks, and I can’t wait to meet my fellow artists. I will on the course from 7th-18th July and so the market stall will be closed 7th – 19th July. It will reopen on Tuesday 22nd July.
In addition to today’s post please find a free Art Making Zine eBook for July. It’s available for free from 00:00 PST time or 8am BST, till 5th July.
Grab yours while you can!

With what’s happening in the world, I can understand the fear and anger we all feel. Art is an outlet, crafting can be a distraction, and finding social events where you can get creative will foster connections. I aim to help as ArtStudioCB, so do get in touch, or stop by Aberdare Market, 10am-3pm, Tuesday- Saturday.
