The Camberwell Open Studios Weekend on 9-10 December is the perfect Christmas shopping opportunity to purchase art and beautifully made objects direct from local artists and designers. Whether you’re looking to explore behind the scenes of workshops that are not normally open to the public, commission gifts or buy unusual one-offs not available on the high street, you’ll find a wealth of choice available at the open studios in and around Camberwell.
Here at 6 Empress Mews, I’ll be showing pictures, decoupaged glass dishes and decorative objects, as well as greeting cards and jewellery.
In addition, I will also be having a big studio clearance, with original collages, prints, paintings and even some pieces of decoupaged furniture at very low prices. None of these items will be offered through the website so this is a unique chance to acquire some of my creations at a fraction of the original price. I hope you’ll visit and help me clear a few drawers and cupboards!
I will be posting the ‘sale’ items on my instagram feed nearer to the date if you’d like to take a look in advance.
Elsewhere in the Mews:
My neighbours at Studios 2 and 8 will also be opening their doors to the public for the weekend.
Find fine artists Emanuele Gori (above) and Paul Draper (below) at Studio Number 2, where they’ll be showing an amazing array of work ranging from architectural drawings and prints to sculpture.
Printmaker Pauline Amphlett is at Studio Number 8, where she’ll be showing a wealth of textiles, paintings and prints.
