Acknowledgements

This book would not have been possible without the contribution of Lorraine Marshalsey, whose initial energy and input laid the foundations for the later work. Like studio, life is complex, uncertain, and messy and it doesn’t always go to plan. But, just like studio, if you have the right people around you, it can make the experience so much better. Thank you, Lorraine, for making the experience better.

This book was inspired by the earlier work of the Studio Matters project. The team that contributed to this inspired us all and continues to do so today.
