This year’s Open Studios is happening next month, and practitioners include the artist Julie Smith who is currently working with us on the Creative Wiltshire ARTeology project. You will find her at venue 14 which is at Minal Woodlands House, Mildenhall.

Open Studios offers a rare opportunity to for the public to visit the hidden world of local artists in their studios, workshops or pop-up galleries. It is free of charge.

No appointment is necessary to see the artists’ work that ranges from small curios, jewellery, glass or ceramics to large sculptures, bronzes and epic landscapes. You can meet the artist, discuss techniques, equipment and discover their inspiration.

Brochures are available via the Open Studios website and there are a huge number of venues to choose from.
