Don’t miss the exclusive Summer Exhibitions at Binnel Studios and Orchid House

Step into the captivating world of Binnel Studios, an artistic retreat located in the former dwelling of Isle of Wight Studio Glass in St Lawrence.

It’s a rarity to find a place pulsating with such ‘understated elegance’, but this well-loved sanctuary – now firmly anchored in the local creative landscape – exudes this unique charm.

An exclusive annual showcase
The anticipation culminates with the yearly Summer exhibition, the only time each year when the eight resident artists showcase their latest work to the public.

Binnel Studios is ready to pull back the curtain this August bank holiday weekend. This event is a precious gem, offering a behind-the-scenes look into the vibrant and progressive world of these imaginative creatives, some of whom are internationally revered.
