Studio work

Reading-room preview

An hour in the Wentworth reading room with the current origin issue on the board, before the drop closes.

Who it is for

People who want to read the sequential pages on paper before reserving a number.

What you leave with

You will have turned every page of the current origin issue and know whether the recap box and closing splash earn the allocation.

Scope

The issue on the board that week. Not the full back catalogue.

Included

  • A printed dummy of the current origin issue
  • Tea or coffee
  • Time with the drop editor if the issue is still open

Not included

  • Removal of the dummy from the room
  • Photography of unpublished pages without permission

How the work proceeds

  1. Reserve a chair.
  2. Read.
  3. Stay to allocate, or leave the dummy on the board.

Before you write

Arrive with clean hands; we provide cotton corners for the dummy.

Limits we will not stretch

Two chairs at a time. Children are welcome if a parent is reading with them; the current origin issue is written for adult collectors.
