ice factory in Breda

our kids Mees (11) & Pim (8) made an ice factory, as winter started early this year, 2 December 2010

New location!

Artstudio23, Speelhuislaan 173-B, Breda, the Netherlands. First floor, unit A101 of the Backer & Rueb (old) factory. Love our new location, and I'd like to share this white picture as we had early snow in EU all around.
