an eclectic Open House where
soulful Stone Sculptures from Zimbabwe and vibrant Nigerian Art & Textiles rub shoulders with mesmerizing Art and beautiful Craft made by local artists/makers.

Our local Guest Artists this year are: Edith Burtenshaw: Photographic imagery Rebecca Jenkins: Ceramic Shaman animal figures Rebecca Jones: Jewellery Sarah McLean: Handwoven rugs and wall hangings which combine vibrant colour, geometry and texture Jeni Sharpstone: Paintings, charcoal drawings and lino-cuts
Sculpting Workshops are run in the garden by two Zimbabwean artists using raw serpentine and opal stone from Zimbabwe – a great opportunity to learn new skills and unlock your creative potential. Come and observe or join in. Booking essential.
We are located near the A27/Dyke Rd Avenue and close to the A23.
