New computers at Sandz!
March 03, 2016
Sandz artists are enjoying new technology in 2016! Two large screened computers are now sitting atop the custom designed table installed last year. The computers, used for a variety of activities including visual research, poetry writing and even the occasional multi-media work, are a welcomed new addition to the studio environment. They allow our artists to search for inspiration, research artists and galleries they enjoy and even access Sandz very own website launched at the start of the year. As a team at Sandz we’re excited to offer our artists this resource and look forward to utilising the new machines
for the years to come.
