Today Abby and Katherine take us on a tour of their own creative spaces and we get to see how they each apply their skills and talents to produce the unique works at Golden Ink Collaborative. Talk about team work- go ladies! - Jenny x

Katherine and I both have passions and arts practices in differing fields and try to still practice this as much as we can. Katherine in gold and silversmithing and myself in printmaking. Katherine works from her home studio, mainly on works to do with her love of vessels.

I also make most of my work from my home studio but also, due to obvious constraints (my 1.2tonne printing presses!), from my spacious and peaceful printing studio in Mt. Macedon. Above is a sneak peek into my creative environment and obsessions!
