Open Studios 2026
4 - 12 July
Studio 22
Chapel Barn Studios, Hartpury, Gloucestershire
I’m a member of the FarOpen Artist Network.
This is a lovely community of local makers in the Forest of Dean, Wye and Severn valleys (hence the name: Forest and Rivers = Far)
Every year, we open our studios so you get a chance to find out how our work is made. It’s often a fascinating look behind the scenes, including how equipment works and what materials we use. Of course, it’s a great chance to meet the artists themselves in their natural habitat! I really enjoy these in-person events. We artists often work alone, so it’s a great opportunity to meet fellow art lovers and talk all things creative.
This will be my fifth year exhibiting with the FarOpen Artist Network and I’m returning to where it all began. I’ll be joining jeweller, Belinda Gilbert, at the studio of fellow printmaker, Issi Lammas. Issi introduced me to the joys of printmaking back in 2017 so it will be extra special to work alongside her for this year’s Open Studios. The three of us will be showing our work and demonstrating how we create it. We look forward to welcoming you to the studio.
We are Studio 22 and just one of many opening for the Art Trail. Find out more here.

This year, for the second year in a row, I’m sharing a studio space with two other printmakers in The Yard Print Studio in Drybrook. Three artists for the price of one!
