On 20 and 21 May there will be an open studios weekend at Out of the Blue Abbeymount.
This is home to more than 30 artists who produce fine art, paintings, ceramics, illustrations, animations, mosaics, fashion, textiles and photography.
Everyone is invited to see the range of work that they produce and browse the art and gifts.
Artists include wildlife painter Kirsten Mirrey whos work for the past five years has focussed on both exotic and endangered wildlife in a highly realistic style.
The poster for the Open Studios weekend was designed by resident children’s print designer Blythe Mackenzie of Little Yellow Scribbles who will also be taking part on the 20th and 21st. Little Yellow Scribbles is a children’s textile brand specialising in vibrant, illustrated textile accessories and clothing.
Out of the Blue Abbeymount Studio Manager Bob Guilianotti said: “We’re delighted to be opening the doors of Abbeymount to the public again for our Open Studios weekend. There’s an exciting choice of artists and makers to meet as well as the chance to explore this historic building.
