about us

The Studio West End is located on the first floor of an old factory building which now houses ABSOE, a business selling office furniture, shop fittings and industrial shelving. Freelance journalist Gerry O’Connor once described it as having a Renaissance atmosphere, “a place where a great deal of hard work and very little navel gazing takes place … where artworks are ‘made’.” (O’Connor, Gerry (2000). Meeting ofcreative minds in The Courier-Mail, December 29). Wander in on one of the regular workshops and you understand what O’Connor meant. 'Hot off the press' takes on new meaning and momentum as participants watch their etching plates morph into subtle prints, the whole processdirected by the Studio's principals, Willem (Wim) de Vos and Adele (Del) Outteridge.
