Colour, Creativity, Cake and Conversation!

Swindon Open Studios 2024 is coming round very quickly (I have the longest 'to do' list you've ever seen!) and I'm hoping you'll be able to join me this September. 
21st/ 22nd September, 11am -5pm
28th/ 29th September, 11am -5pm


 Last year was a huge success with 135 visitors to Primrose HQ - the feedback was really positive. As well as the artwork, the garden, cake, student demos and glass cutting seem to have been a huge hit.

'Some beautiful pieces and lovely to see them in place in the garden. Jacquie is so knowledgeable and encouraging..' Liz
'A really lovely exhibition, with some amazing mosaics. I'm really inspired to sign up for a workshop.' Susan
'Very friendly welcome. Good to try lovely crafts.' Christine


Here's 10 compelling, lighthearted reasons you really MUST NOT MISS my Open Studios event .....

Warm Welcome: My husband, George, and I love meeting new people and chatting. George makes a great cup of tea, ensuring you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
Garden Setting: Our garden has received some tender loving care lately, and it complements the artwork beautifully. You'll be treated to a visual feast of plants and art as you wander round.
Studio Tour: Step into my studio, a rare sight when it's been tidied up! Witness where all the creative magic happens and get a glimpse into my artistic process. We all love nosing around other people's workspaces, don't we!
Watch Demonstrations: Meet my talented regular students, who will be working on their own projects in the studio. They'd love to chat with you about their creations and share their passion for mosaics.
Join In: Discover the art of glass cutting used in my mosaics and try your hand at it with my guidance. Contribute to the group mosaic which we will raffle to support a dementia charity.
Art for Sale: If you're looking for a unique gift or a special treat for yourself, you'll find a selection of my garden mosaic artwork available for purchase; you are also welcome to just look and enjoy..
Time for Treats: Our generous friends have baked delicious treats for you to enjoy. My daughter suspects it's partly because they wanted to spare you from my baking skills!
Crafting Inspiration: Conversations with fellow creatives often spark new ideas and passions. Enjoy a 10% discount on all my 'Craft It Yourself' Mosaic Kits during the event; the perfect opportunity to start a new project.
Discounts: We all appreciate a bargain; there will be some sale items and discounts only available at this event. 
Swindon Open Studios Brochures: Grab a free Swindon Open Studios brochure, featuring 55 other venues, and plan a whole day out exploring the local art scene or you can also visit the Swindon Open Studios website visitors page for an online brochure and handy interactive map. 

We genuinely hope to see you at our Open Studios event this year. It promises to be filled with colour, creativity, cake and conversation!
Warm regards
