Great news that we can again open our studios for this year’s annual Lambeth Open event. This will be our last showing at Carlew House because unfortunately the building’s lease is coming to an end and the new owners want us out. Such a shame and somewhere I am going to miss very much after ten years. Affordable studio space in London is becoming pretty much impossible to find which does not bode well for the capital’s creative community or events such as this. Fingers crossed something turns up!
Started in 2009, the Lambeth Open promises a wide range of arts and crafts on show including painting, sculpture, photography, textile design, jewellery, ceramics and print making. Entrance is free to all venues and the latest updated map can be found on their web site.
The event showcases the fantastic wealth of creative talent tucked away in the borough and helps communities discover the various art workshops and studios that are too often hidden away in their neighbourhoods. It is also a unique way to meet artists face to face and learn more about the various technical processes involved in their craft. It is also a great opportunity to buy direct and support your local artists and makers.
