FIVE OPEN STUDIOS is an exciting weekend in Ilkley where 5 professional artists are opening their working studios to the general public. From a metalsmithing warehouse workshop, to a kitchen full of easels where Yorkshire Dales landscapes are created, to sheds full of glorious sketches, basements full of experimental multi media works and street art, and beautiful rooms full of exhibition-ready works – many of these places are rarely open to the public, so the weekend offers a special treat. Several of the artists will be demonstrating their work in progress, some using metal, some using paint, or pastel, or even a screen: the visit becomes a fascinating experience for the senses! All work will be for sale.
