Artists in WASPS studios at Patriothall, off Hamilton Place in Stockbridge, are celebrating the festive season by having an Open Studio on Saturday 10th December between noon and 5pm.

The building, which hides behind an entrance way opposite Stockbridge Library, has a Spartan exterior which belies the dazzling powerhouse of art and activity inside. Colour, texture and shape combine and recombine here to excite the senses and banish any winter blues.

Tapestry artist , Fiona Hutchison weaves the movement and the stillness of the sea in her current pieces while artist Diana Hope’s paintings are sumptuous patchworks of intense colour. They and other artists including Michael Craik, Anna King, James Lumsden and Trude Blows are opening their studios to reveal some of the secrets of their art and will be at hand to chat about their work.

As well as the open studios in the main gallery there is also an exhibition of the work by other artists who work at WASPS.

Everyone is welcome and there will be wine and mince pies.
