Ezio’z Place – an introduction:
This is my current project – the Venice Canal House – a Rik Pierce workshop held in Wellington, New Zealand, in February this year.  It came home in a wooden crate and there it sat until about the middle of June when I was once again able to work on it.  I recently finished the last of the external claying and painting and internal floors and walls.

Ezio lives here!  He is a moderately impoverished painter who lives in Venice.





So far I've made an easel for him - most important - if he can't work, he can't eat!  Here it is in it's pristine state:



This is Ezio's studio!



Ezio's Living Quarter



His Rooftop patio



I still have lots of plants to make for both the window boxes (yet to be installed) and for his rooftop patio.
Water still has to be poured – lights to be made and fitted – and all the furnishings to be made as well - so a long way to go to completion.  But I'm having fun!
