“Leanne’s journey in my studio started with a thoughtful gift. A friend had given her a voucher for a block of art classes, but when she called me, she hesitated. ‘If sculpting isn’t for her,’ she asked, ‘could she use the voucher to purchase something from the gallery instead?’ I reassured her, ‘Of course!’—but little did either of us know how much she would come to love the experience.
Now, Leanne is working on her second sculpture, a gift for her son. So far, it’s just the beginning—a rugged boot taking shape under her hands—but stay tuned, because there’s more to come. Beyond the joy of creating, Leanne has discovered something even more meaningful: The connections she’s building within the group. ‘It’s not just about the art,’ she told me recently. ‘It’s the people.’ Moments like these remind me why I do what I do—because this studio is much more than sculptures. It’s about community.” Visit www.georgettesart.com
