Project blogs One creative year: studio, birth and motherhood by Briony Marshall

Briony Marshall has created a dynamic maquette 'The Drag Flick' based on Hockey, for our bronze collection.
In December 2010, when 5 months pregnant, Briony was offered and accepted a one year residency at Pangolin London in Kings Cross starting almost immediately. Her fascinating blog charts her attempt to ‘have it all’: a year of focused studio time and a happy growing family life.
