Artists At Home’s ‘Open Studios’ Returns in June, with Something for Everyone
Artists at Home is delighted to invite art lovers to its annual Open Studios. Running over Friday, Saturday and Sunday 14-16 June, the event showcases an eclectic mix of talented artists across Chiswick, Shepherds Bush, and Hammersmith. They welcome visitors into their home studios to give people an unrivalled opportunity to see work and the context in which it was created.
This year, a total of 92 artists will open their homes and studios to the public. All these venues are within a three-mile radius in West London and many visitors walk or cycle from studio to studio. It’s easy to use the website to research artists, find the ones to visit, and plan your journey at artistsathome.co.uk.
There are 13 new members showing for the first time, and here’s just four examples to represent the range of works:
NUPUR NARAIN DETAR
Nupur Narain Detar’s main influences are her Indian heritage and world cultures. Inspired by nature, her aesthetic is evolving constantly. Her hand building technique enables her to make individual, functional, and food safe ceramics.
FRANK WALTERS
Frank Walters is a watercolourist and art teacher. He uses traditional techniques with a sophisticated lightness of touch. His work is mainly of towns and landscapes often created ‘en plein air’.
CRISTINA LORENZET
Cristina Lorenzet makes ceramic sculpture inspired by architecture and the landscape. She observes the environment to identify architectural details, fragments, materials, and other clues to ways of constructing her works.
HANNAH GILMOUR
Hannah Gilmour creates handmade pieces from fabric remnants from India and using luxury, eco-friendly yarns. Her work celebrates traditional artisan crafts including wood-block printing, hand-embellishment, and embroidery.
Kathryn Davey, Chair of Artists at Home, says: “We are thrilled to welcome so many new artists this year and we are grateful to our sponsor Horton and Garton estate agents for their continuing support. I’m constantly amazed at the amount of talent in our local area, and perhaps that’s why Artists at Home is the oldest open studios event in the UK.”
