Our 6th monthly First Friday has come and gone. A whole range of new faces turned up for the festivities. Tracey Malone was the lucky winner of a weekend getaway for 2 at the Anantara Resort and Spa in Si Kao. And Caroline Little’s fascinators caused quite the stir. But as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words:

We have some exciting stuff for you guys this month. Including a selection of products on display by artist and designer, Caroline Little.
Caroline has developed a style of presenting far Eastern silk and fabrics in an up to date, yet timeless, line from Corsages, bags, and fascinators, to clothes all having the distinctive colours and richness of the pure fabrics she has sourced from Thailand Cambodia Bali and Laos.
April’s First Friday was a hit. All sorts of people were in the studio enjoying stimulating conversation. Eating, drinking and being merry.
The sculpture class with Gavin proved to be extremely popular with the revelers, with 2 or 3 people sharing a single sculpture table. Coco Anantawat’s photo exhibition attracted a lot of attention and he even sold a couple of prints. Good for you Coco!
Elsie churned out a bunch of pastel caricatures – there was practically a queue.

It’s that time of month again. Our 5th First Friday is merely four days away! Brace yourselves for another funfilled gathering of probably the most eclectic bunch of people you’ll ever meet in one place. Painters, Sculptors, Musicians, Teachers, Photographers, Doctors, Lawyers, Film Makers, Actors and other strange and wonderful folk.
On display this month will be photos by a hip young newcomer: Thai photographer, Coco Anantawat. A resident of Bangkok, Coco loves capturing the various moods and dimensions of the city. His unique perspective allows the viewer to see everyday subjects in a different (and colourful) light. Coco enjoys being able to step out with his camera to confront whatever he comes across. Pictures can be taken on the spur-of-the-moment or with precise and lengthy planning.
Date: 5th March 2010
Time: 7pm – midnight.
“The time has come,” the Walrus said….. for the Fourth First Friday.
On show will be photographs by Jackie Rado. Jackie is a portrait photographer based in Bangkok specialising in personally commissioned portraits of families, children, babies, maternity, as well as larger groups, celebrations and weddings. Her warmth and candid portrayal of the subject is also apparent in her travel photography, capturing a variety of individuals and events around Asia and further afield. Further, as a passionate and enthusiastic coach, Jackie teaches the theory and practice of phtoography in the classroom and outside on location.
First Friday at Attic Studios has officially become the event of the month in Bangkok. People were spilling out onto the street!
Spanish on 4 by Tapas catered the event with delicious finger foods, while guests enjoyed live flamenco music from duo Benjamin and Jacopo as “Danca das Cabacas”. Upstairs was a hive of activity with all who were willing trying their hand at some life drawing of a nude model. Downstairs, Gavin Gough’s beautiful photographs lit up the room with their vibrant colours and pensive moods.
Place: Attic Studios, Sukhumvit Soi 31
Date: Friday, 5th February 2010
Time: 7pm – 11pm
I know you’ve been itching for a First Friday since December last year, so you’ll be happy to hear our first F.F. of 2010 is approaching fast. As usual we’ll have food and drinks and a plethora of activity to feast your eyes on, including a bit of live music.
On display will be the ethnically vibrant photographs by Gavin Gough and various artists associated with Attic Studios.
Once again, First Friday (4th December 2009) at Attic Studios was a smashing hit!
We had sculptor Gavin Fifield showing and demonstrating his work and answering the questions of curious onlookers. As well as a selection of pieces for sale by ceramicist and potter Claude Brock, who was also present to answer any inquiries.

Upstairs, the studio was converted into a fully carpeted, morrocan style boudoir, with rugs for sale scattered over every available surface. While two of Attic’s artists Mary Eden and Kat Jones demonstrated a little life drawing of a nude male model, which turned out to be quite the spectator sport.
It’s that time of month again! If you were at our very first First Friday, you are sure to remember having a good time.
This month we will have a nude model upstairs posing for artists to work on in various media!
We will have a variety of artwork on display by local artists living and working in Bangkok.
Attic’s first “First Friday” – 6th November 2009 – brought in quite a crowd. It was a fantastically ecclectic gathering of people from all corners of the globe and all manner of profession. Conversation was stimulating; the art was enjoyed and the wine…well…lets not talk about that. In fact, lets pretend that never happened…
No, seriously, the feedback has been entirely positive and everyone who attended had a great time. We look forward to seeing everyone back for our next First Friday event on 4th December 2009.
