Explore Artists’ Studios in the Stroud Valleys

Welcome A warm welcome to Open Studios 2017 Another year, another amazing opportunity! We all like to think that where we live is unique, special and frankly, better than everywhere else.

Well, I definitely think that.

For one reason, so many creative people live here. I represent the writers, but I love and support the artists. I often tell myself and others that I mustn’t buy any more art but somehow, I keep doing it. There is no rule that says you can’t hang pictures at skirting board height, after all.

So let me encourage you to follow the Open Studio trail. It’s not just about the art, it’s about the artists, where they live and create and where they get their inspiration from. Which often leads us back to Stroud, and the Five Valleys it inhabits.

Really, you won’t regret it.

Katie Fforde, writer

Lorraine Robbins, SVA studio artist

The Art of Food Look out for a great selection of bakes, both sweet and savoury in some of the Open Studios this year.

Take pictures of the Art and Food and post them up online to vote for your favourites in our Open Studios Bake Off Instagram special feed.

I trust in pleasure, to prevent my own spontaneous combustion.

I design and manufacture specialist guitar pickups that isolate sound from particular strings. Effects can then be applied to these strings and make one guitar sound like two.
