What's your favourite local building or place in SE22, SE15 SE21 or SE23?? I'm an artist based in East Dulwich and have made a series of paintings of various favourites of mine such as the Horniman Conservatory, Manzes Eel + Pie shop, Dulwich Picture gallery, several local pubs, etc etc. I am just about to start on a few new ones in time for the Dulwich Festival 'Artists Open House' and thought it would be great to get other people's suggestions, so do add a reply if you have any suggestions - thanks! You can see some of the places I've already painted here:- Local Landmarks - original paintings by Suzsi Corio and also on Instagram Local Landmarks

Our energy supplier is currently Ovo 'Simpler Energy plan'- has anyone switched to a better deal recently? Any suggestions would be great.

Steve's wonderful house is absolutely worth a visit, when it's open. A visual feast, and moving stories behind the making of it. We are so lucky to have it in East Dulwich. It's a shame that his fab mosaic floor at the front what was The Blue Mountain Cafe (then rock Steady Rum lounge) got covered up with a dark wooden floor on top.... Here are a couple of photos of details of it (and my feet!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMYlhmJza4/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNwscsJNPL/

I'm also about to set up a shop on my website which is currently a Wordpress one. Does anyone know who easy it is to move an existing website from Wordpress to Squarespace?

Hi again Smiley when I open the free version of VivaVideo , it's asking me to do a '14 day Free trial' of the paid app - did you manage to use it for free without having to do a refundable payment? I can't seem to do that...

thanks for the suggestion, Smiley I had a quick look at VivaVideo on the app store - it says 'free trial'of the premium features - did you get that as well or do you find the free version is enough? I'll probably only be using it for a one-off....

I'm planning on decorating my studio and am looking for a cheap option of somewhere to store quite a few boxes of art materials, paintings, boxes of books etc, ideally somewhere where I can get easy access to them. It doesn't have to be in SE22 - it's more to do with the cost than the locality. Any suggestions (other than the obvious) ?

I need to make a sort video of a series of my paintings for my website (like a slideshow, just flicking from image A to image B, image C and so on) ) and for an exhibition - any suggestions for the simplest way to do this? I saw a few apps that seem to do the job but don't know which would be the simplest to use. Some seemed very expensive so if there are any free ones which would work that would be good.It would be handy to be able to use it for Instagram too.. Or I have an iMac which I could have a go on if not... thanks for any suggestions.

Is it still the same re: trains? Buses seem to be busier with many people wearing masks on their chins...

You could also try https://www.appearhere.co.uk - they offer pop-up shops on a short term basis all over London. The prices seem to vary quite a lot! It looks as though they 2 or 3 available on Lordship lane including the one that used to be the large Plough Hoecraft shop, up near the library. That was also on their site ages ago so maybe they would be open to negotiating on the price... If you manage to rent one and happen to need any more artists' work to show, I'm a mixed media artist and my work includes local landmarks, cityscapes, collaged landscapes etc - http://studio-se22.com/cityscapes-and-local-landmarks/

We have a few items of antique furniture etc from my Mother-in-law which she is happy for us to sell but we have no idea how to value them - can anyone recommend an antique dealer who may be able to offer us some advice? It doesn't have to be a local dealer as I can email the images... One piece is a Victorian or Edwardian writing box / writing slope, another is a clock, also chairs and china... thanks

Thanks for your review, Sue. If anyone else is interested, we currently have several beginners and a couple of people with some experience of painting, and everyone has produced some really great results. I tend to teach the sort of creative and inventive techniques that are suitable for all levels. Classes are continuing every Wednesday from 2-4.30 and it's possible to do a 'drop in' session and pay on the day, to see whether it's for you. If you'd like to know more, please send a pm or give me a call on 07946577236

I'm running small Art workshops in painting techniques (watercolour and acrylics) at my light, airy studio in a converted Victorian school in East Dulwich for up to 6 people per class. The next workshop is on Wednesday 31st July from 2 - 4.30 pm - ?25 to include all materials, and the one after will be August 14th. I can also offer other times for groups of 3-6 friends who would like to attend together. No need to block book or to pay in advance. I specialise in painting using a variety of water based media and collage and have exhibited with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and also the royal Watercolour society (but I don?t use traditional methods of watercolour painting!) Classes are informal and friendly and are suitable for everyone aged 18 and over from complete beginners to those with some experience of painting who would like to be a bit more adventurous with their painting techniques. Classes can be tailored towards students? specific interests to a certain extent. For more information and to see the sort of techniques that I can show you, have a look at my instagram feed https://www.instagram.com/studio.se22/ and to see my studio where classes are held, check out https://www.instagram.com/loft.location.londonse22/ or email me at [email protected] http://i.imgur.com/PoCHgfv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FUNFr2v.jpg
