Just thought would copy and paste my reply to the other thread as it's positive and feels more at home here
Congratulations rob. The place looks real smart - particularly enjoying the signage and windows.
Assume be nicer/easier to do a life-drawing class with a local artist leading the way but one if my mates recently opened a online life drawing class etc and cosistently goes to them and wonder if come a little while and this plan comes into action I could ask if he may fancy leading it.
Just shout anytime if would like me to contact him/pass on his details.
Secondly, along the same sorts of lines ive got a few arty mates who go to classes/events and "drink and draw"/"drink and doodle" things seem to be a pretty popular thing. Obviously no idea how this may fit into your personal/business preferences or licensing rules for one off/monthly events but again just an idea with someone like "late knights" brewery (see the microbrewery post) providing the booze.
Good luck with everything and looking forward to hearing developments,
Jon
