Artists across Devon are inviting the public into their workspaces this month. More than 350 are taking part in Devon Open Studios, which runs from Saturday, September 12 until Sunday 20. Visitors can watch artists and makers at work, see completed exhibits, and buy directly from them.
In the Teignbridge area, several individuals are opening the doors to home studios. There are also collectives taking part as groups in single venues.
Kate Farmery is president of Devon Artist Network, which organises the initiative to help artists reach wider audiences. She said: “From painters, printmakers and potters to jewellers, textile artists and contemporary craft makers, you’ll find work rooted in Devon’s landscapes, communities and stories.
“What makes Open Studios so special is the chance to meet these creators in person – to see how they work, hear what inspires them and discover beautiful handmade pieces available to buy directly from the people who made them.
“Many studios are clustered in small towns, villages and rural pockets, making it easy to plan a route and visit several in one trip.
“Take your time, enjoy the conversations and let yourself be surprised by what you find. You might leave with a new artwork, a thoughtful gift or simply a deeper appreciation for the creativity thriving across Devon.
Individual Open Studios events are held in Teignmouth, Kingsteignton, Bishopsteignton, Chudleigh, Ashburton, Buckfastleigh, Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead.
The collectives include Edge of the Teign in Coombinteignheard, Bovey Paradiso, Green Hill Studios in Moretonhanpstead, Makers Barn in Ashburton, TAAG in Teignmouth and Moorland Makers near Bovey Tracey.
Full details of the artists, studio opening times, directions and public transport information are available on the Devon Artist Network website.
