Swindon Open Studios 2017
We were thrilled to again be part of the Swindon Open Studios in 2017 and held pottery handbuilding and throwing taster sessions, arts and crafts and other activities taking place throughout the two weekends of Swindon Open Studios, ie 9th and 10th September 2017 plus 16th and 17th September 2017. We were also open on Tuesday 12th, Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th September.
Despite the very persistent rain, approx 200 people joined us over the two weekends either for the activities on offer or simply to browse some of the fantastic artwork being exhibited by Artists Maria Thatcher, Philip Robinson & JJ Stellitano plus Ceramicists Claire Cushnahan, Jo McAree and other visitors to the studios.
