Check out this donated Drawing Board! 😍

Local artist Trudi donated this fabulous architect's drawing board to us this week along with a stool and high-quality art books - we couldn't be more thrilled! The Prism team can't wait to see what our artists create now that we can enjoy a large, vertical drawing surface like this.

Additionally - we need to give a huge thank you to Mr Move It (AKA Gary Clulow) who transported this over to our studio with a generous discounted rate to support the charity. We are very grateful and would like to give him a shoutout - get in touch with Gary if you need a reliable mover in the local area! (07572 891377) 🚚🎉
