This summer I am participating in Bridport & West Dorset Open Studios 2012, an annual open art event celebrating the remarkable artistic talent to be found in this beautiful part of the West Country. Come and visit my studio to see examples of my work and find out about my calligraphy courses for adults and children from beginners to advanced students.

Thurs 9th August 2012

BRIDPORT OPEN STUDIOS 2012 LAUNCH NIGHT
at the Bull Hotel, East Street, BRIDPORT, Dorset

Everyone is welcome to attend the launch party, which features “Six by Nine” (an exhibition of small works by over 50 participating artists including myself) plus a short presentation by the Launch Sponsors, Artolo (an exciting new online Art service offering “the visual art world reinvented, rebooted and made accessible to all”).

This year the artists' open studios are one of the main events of the Spirit of Bridport’s first Festival of Culture, which runs from 11 to 27 August 2012. Opening times have therefore been extended from the usual 3 days over the August Bank Holiday weekend, to a full 7 days over all three weekends of the Festival of Culture. This will give visitors plenty of time to explore the many diverse studios (including mine) taking part in the towns, villages and hamlets across West Dorset, and to discover the rich artistic culture that we are lucky to have here in Bridport and its surrounding areas.

You’ll find a wide variety of art on display, from well-known names to emerging artists and keen new-comers. Works are on show in studios, galleries and even in the artist’s homes. So don’t be shy! Open Studio events are designed to bring the public into the artists’ workplace, to help you to experience the creative process first hand and maybe even give you a glimpse into the mind of the artist. Whatever your taste in art, you'll be sure to find something to enjoy. Website www.bridportopenstudios.com has full event details, including interviews with artists including myself.
