Yesterday our former student Nick McElligot (affectionately known as the "Butterfly man" after his creative exploits with a key fob) returned to Waterside, forged up a custom nail, slammed it into the nagel boom and announced he was taking up a studio membership. Nick is now the youngest member at the studio and we look forward to seeing his creative energy flourish.
