I am delighted to be part of North Yorkshire Open Studios for the first time, the largest open studio event in the UK! My studio shed is number 33 on the 'Central' trail, open 10-5pm on Sat 4th, Sun5th, Sat 11th and Sun 12th June. More info can be found at www..nyos.org.uk.

Like so many summer events, the annual Nidd Art Trail  has become a virtual happening, with over 50 artists and craftspeople from Nidderdale and the surrounding area being represented, with links to their other online platforms and selling outlets, some of which are now open again. 

A group exhibition exploring the concept of ‘verge’. This could mean looking into the edges of physical spaces, existing on the periphery of society, being on the verge of a psychological breakthrough or transitioning between different states of emotion. Within this group of experienced practitioners, creative responses encompass a range of media to present a rich and diverse body of work which holds a lens to the various verges we encounter through life.
