Coachwerks Residency Project
By: Graeme Walker
In March 2011 Coachwerks in Brighton was awarded the NAN Futurific! Bursary to refurbish a building on their site into a residency space for artists and writers. This blog follows the development of this project.

Hoopla!
The kitchen is now finished in our new residency space and we've made a good start on creating a porch for people to take their wellies off in. Next up... painting and new carpet down in the main room.
