ARTISTS from across Redditch will be among those opening the doors of their studios as part of a much-loved annual county-wide event.
Worcestershire Open Studios – from this Saturday, August 20, to August 29 – will see artists and makers welcome visitors into their homes or studios to give them a behind the scenes insight into how they create their work.
All studios are free to visit and there will be a diverse range of artwork to see – painting, printmaking, jewellery, textiles, stained glass, woodwork, furniture making and lots more.
Across the county, 108 artists are taking part across 91 venues, including numerous artists from Redditch.
Redditch artists Julian Bull with the art of printing trees, Vic Kirk a lampwork artist and jewellery maker, Tashy White mixed media 3D pictures, April Kirk crochet, paracord, and beadwork jewellery are all in Redditch.
In Alvechurch you can see Anne Guest an artist using the cyanotype process and Jane Aston an acrylic and mixed media painter.
Gillian Simpson from Worcestershire Open Studios said: “It gives you access to the vibrant and creative makers we have on our doorstep, to be able to meet them and enjoy looking at local art.
“Learn and ask questions, see the tools and materials they use, you may even have the chance to have a go.”
Printed guides are available from worcestershireopenstudios.org.uk – detailing the artists, their location, art form and theme.
