Ouseburn Open Studios

Really enjoyed my afternoon visiting 36 Lime Street and Northern Print as part of the Ouseburn Open Studios weekend. 

Had some lovely chats to makers and saw some incredible work. What a talented bunch! Really pleased I got to have a go at doing some screenprinting and woodblock printing at Northern Print too.

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me into their studio - I know how draining Open Studios can be as an artist hosting others, but hope the time and effort you put into this weekend seemed worthwhile. I certainly found it an enjoyable and inspiring event.

Here are a few photos to remind me of my afternoon

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip around The Biscuit Factory, The Holy Biscuit, Northern Print and 36 Lime Street, all of which were taking part in Ouesburn Open Studios.

There was a lovely atmosphere in all venues, with hundreds of people making the most of the opportunity to have a sneak peak into artists studios and admire (and purchase) some of their creations. There was even the chance to make your own artwork at some of the venues.
