open studios cornwall
"During this event artists and craftspeople all over Cornwall throw open the doors to their studios for a week at the beginning of the summer. The event showcases the best art the county has to offer, breaking the mould of traditional Cornish art with visitors able to see a range of contemporary work from the diverse pool of resident artists.
The unique event – the brainchild of Creative Skills, a professional development organisation for all creative industries practitioners in Cornwall - takes art lovers on a tour of the unseen Cornwall, visiting working artists in remote cottages and chapels, beach side studios and historic buildings, quite often far from the tourist trail.
This is an opportunity to meet the artists behind the work, discuss their influences and inspirations and buy their work directly. And whether you’re an art lover or just a curious beginner, the event is an enriching experience for both you and the artists."
Artichoke Mosaics enjoyed participating in Open Studios from 2010 to 2014 as a member of the Krowji Group based in the Old Grammar School, Redruth. An average of 30 creative practitioners took part each year displaying a diverse range of arts and crafts to view and purchase.
