Jan 11: We’re now in the process of vacating Eachwhat Studio premises situated at Unit 18, The Broadwalk Centre, Bristol BS4 2QU and re-locating. EWI Studio was made possible by Hypha Studios, a charity that matches artists with empty spaces. With Hypha Studios generous support Paul was able to use the Unit for 18 months or so, using it as a studio workspace, a gallery, a workshop space and for events. He was fortunate to hold a number of exhibitions, host & run workshops, launch books with readings/performances by a diverse bunch of artist/poets and run Hesterglock Press.
