ABOUT SECOND HOME STUDIO + CAFE
SECOND HOME STUDIO + CAFE ARE A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANISATION FOCUSING ON MAKING ART MORE ACCESSIBLE. BEING A COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY MEANS WE EXIST FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY, NOT FOR THE FINANCIAL BENEFIT OF OUR DIRECTORS OR SHAREHOLDERS.
WE HOST ART CLASSES THAT ARE AFFORDABLE, CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES AND INCOME FOR OUR LOCAL CREATIVE TUTORS, WHILE ENSURING THAT INCOME IS NOT AN OBSTACLE TO THOSE
WISHING TO PARTAKE. TO SEE OUR CLASS SCHEDULE, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

HELLO, I'M KIRSTY, THE DIRECTOR OF SECOND HOME. I STARTED SECOND HOME STUDIO + CAFE TO CELEBRATE AND ELEVATE THE CREATIVE COMMUNITY IN ABERDEEN.I'M NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY THAT OPENING THE SPACE HAS BEEN A DREAM COME TRUE. I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU LOVELY LOT SHOW TOWARDS SECOND HOME.
I HAVE A BA IN FASHION COMMUNICATION FROM HERIOT WATT UNIVERSITY AND I'M AN ILLUSTRATOR. WHEN I'M NOT WORKING, I ENJOY TAKING PHOTOS ON 35MM, EATING FOOD COOKED BY SOMEONE ELSE, AND WALKING IN FORESTS, UP BIG HILLS, OR SWIMMING IN THE SEA.
KIRSTY CAMERON, DIRECTOR
MARIANNE BAXTER, KITCHEN ASSISTANT
