Peterborough Artists Open Studios


Saturdays and Sundays 8 & 9 and 22 & 23 June 2013 
11 am - 4 pm 
It's fast approaching! That wonderful time of domestic upheaval, harrassed family members, lost bits of artists' 'blurb' and the general panic of 'will my paintings dry in time'....PAOS, in a word!
I  will be opening my doors again this year and will host two favourite artist friends, Veronica Leontyeva and Emma Raffle, fine art painter and textile artist respectively.  Apart from our latest works we will have a selection of cards, unique felt jewellery from Raff's Rags (Emma's brand) and some dry felting demonstrations, plus live drawings.

Find out more about PAOS from the  website http://www.paos.org.uk and collect your free brochure of the 3 week art event from Tourist information, Queensgate (May 18, 19) and various other venues in Peterborough. Dozens of talented artists will be opening their studios to the general public so get a brochure and plan your weekends! I look forward to seeing you!

FindMeKeepMe

FindMeKeepMe: a fabulously fun idea involving 40+ highly creative artists, sculptors, poets, crafters, street artists, musicians (maybe!), dramatists etc - all bring their creative talents to the public for free on 30 March! 
I am part of the 2-D group of painters/illustrators who will be producing individual art works for the public to find and keep! This tiny 'fragment' bit of 'treasure'  will be available for one lucky person to find and keep, plus dozens more reproductions in a slightly different form. Intrigued? Keep your eyes open for leaflets, postcards, posters, tweets.......
