17 great days out as artists and craftspeople welcome visitors to their studios and workshops
Every year in June, artists and craftspeople across the south east of England open their doors to the public. It is a unique opportunity to meet, talk to and see them at work as part of the South East Open Studios event. Visit the South East Open Sudios website
This event takes place from the 6th – 22nd June 2008. A wide range of work will be on show from traditional oil and watercolours to photographs, ceramics, textiles and fine metalwork. The event is free to the public and a full colour guide including a description of each artist’s work with contact details, travel directions and a map is available as a download from this link
Open Studio events have developed nationally and internationally over the last 20 years to encourage artists to open their own studios to the public and the events are usually organised and managed by the artists themselves.

Great idea to include some light entertainment / stress relief ideas, we all need a break sometimes!
I have used the open studio site, and visited several studios, particularly in St Ives, Cornwall and also around Surrey & Kent. I’ve found this to be a wonderful weekend antidote to the inevitable stress and fast pace of social work. Plus if you are at all artistically inclined it can provide you with ideas, encouragement and support, for personal projects (or even -dare I say it- a change of career, depending on your perceived stress levels!).
Thanks for including ‘other interests’ on the site, it’s a great idea – we all need other interests!
