Save the date folks! Part of the annual tradition that is the Dulwich Festival, will be the ‘Artists’ Open House’ event during the lovely warm month of May. Back in 2019 I took part for the first time here in our home, along with the work of talented fellow maker ‘Tomoko Hori’. It is quite a big ask to use your home for the event and also to make some significant adjustments to your life during the fortnight! We did make a few much needed home improvements beforehand though, like painting the front door for the 1st time since moving in! Below are some images from the event in 2019.
The Dulwich Festival endorses and celebrates community creativity in all its glorious diversity………the event brings people together and enriches our collective spirit. Even though the Artists’ Open House event is still largely virtual this year, many artists’ & makers can arrange individual studio visits by prior arrangement - you can find all of the contact details you need on the individual artists’ pages on the main festival website, link below….
The Artists’ Open House event mainly takes place across two weekends……here is an excerpt from the website….
We are delighted to bring you this virtual showcase highlighting the work of many wonderful local artists. As restrictions ease some of the artists here are able to invite you to view their work in the flesh whether in their gardens or by appointment during the weekends of the Dulwich Festival on 8th & 9th May and 15th & 16th May and beyond. Commercial galleries are now permitted to open. Circumstances vary but all the artists would love to hear from you so please contact them directly via the links on each artist’s page.
You can also find out about a whole plethora of alternative events ranging from ‘literature & talks, music, walks and performances.

So, please support the endeavours of so many people that take part in the Dulwich Festival and help to support your local community.
I will be showing examples of my work & practice via ‘Live on Instagram’ doing a ‘virtual studio visit’, gallery walls and opening up our front garden space for appointments to see my work and chat to me about what I do.
