Open Studio

Starting today! For ten days there's an opportunity to see inside the studios and workshops and meet artists and makers across the Island.

Head to Sue Paraskeva’s Ryde workshop next week (15-19 July) where she'll be showcasing a selection of porcelain with new wood-fired stand-alone pieces, alongside hand knitted accessories and homeware by Abi Wheeler.

Julia Bery will be showcasing her handmade, elegant and timeless, sterling silver jewellery at The Hayloft, a beautiful thatched venue in the grounds of Gillmans House in Brighstone.

There will be demonstrations of some of the presses over both weekends, as well as limited edition prints, both for view and for sale, as well other letterpress ephemera.

View new works and meet the Lisa Traxler in her unique WW2 Nissen Hut Studio to discover how she researches historic architecture and translates it into enamel and paper sculptures and relief collage paintings. For two dates only.

Helen Goodman's mosaic work is heavily inspired by nature and her surroundings. See how she brings her work to life during this year's Open Studios.

The artistic talents of volunteers, service users and patients are being celebrated as Earl Mountbatten Hospice takes part in this year’s Open Studios programme (Friday, 15 July – Monday, 25 July)

Congratulations to Jo who'll be flying the flag for the Isle of Wight after one of her works was selected to appear in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition.
