ABOUT OUR STUDIO:

OUR STUDIO IS A QUIET CORNER IN THE SHARED LIVING  / DINING / KITCHEN AREAS OF HAMISH'S HOUSE.

IT IS IN THIS QUIET CORNER THAT HAMISH UNDERTAKES HIS WORK, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A VOLUNTEER.

THERE IS NOTHING ARTY OR CRAFTY GRAND ABOUT THE STUDIO, NO PAINT ON THE FLOOR OR THE WALLS, NO PATTERNS HANGING OFF WALL HOOKS, JUST A RECYCLED WORK TABLE WITH THE USUAL CRAFT WORK CUTTING BOARD AND SOME SMALL HAND TOOLS, A REPURPOSED TRAYMOBILE (DESIGNED AND MADE BY HAMISH SOME YEARS AGO AS A MEMBER OF THE MOSMAN PARK MEN'S SHED) NOW HOLDING A NEW 'SCULPFUN S9 PRO' LASER CUTTER (DONATED BY A FAMILY BENEFACTOR), AND A REPURPOSED COMPUTER TO DRIVE THE LASER CUTTER, SOME STUDIO HAMISH WORK LIVERY OF APRONS AND HEADWEAR CAPS EMBROIDERED 'STUDIO HAMISH' BY jUDY SHIELDS AT 'GRAPHIC STITCHES' IN WANNEROO, A VOLUNTEEER ASSISTANT CHAIR, OH..... AND THE UBIQUETOUS Co2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER (LASER CUTTING?....DON'T DO CUTTING WITHOUT ONE!!).

STUDIO WORK PROVIDES THERAPY, FUN, AND MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION WITH OTHERS FOR HAMISH. 

AT THE STUDIO HAMISH IS AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS 'CHIEF TOYLER'.   GOING TO THE STUDIO IS AFFECTIONATELY  KNOWN AS 'MYWERK', ANOTHER FUN PLAY ON WORDS.

'MYWERK' IS A FAMILY BASED THINK TANK INITIATIVE USED TO DEVELOP AND BRING 'STUDIO HAMISH' TO REALITY. CURRENTLY IN HYBERNATION, 'MYWERK' WILL AFTER MORE WORK (NOT A PLAY ON WORDS!) BECOME A NOT-FOR-PROFIT THINK TANK FOR USE BY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SEEKING TO COMMENCE THEIR OWN SIMPLE PROJECT, SIMILAR TO AND WITH A SIMILAR PHILANTHROPIC PHILOSOPHY AS STUDIO HAMISH.
