Ryedale Artists Make Their Mark On North Yorkshire Open Studios 2010 11/12/13 and 19/20 June 2010

It's time once again for North Yorkshire artists to open their studios to the public. The event is now in it's sixth year and is growing in popularity and reputation.

Artists work in many different situations, often because of practical considerations, such as affordability, distance from home, availability of resources or the sheer beauty of their surroundings. From beautiful back gardens, a pub, barns and remote rural locations, the Ryedale section of the North Yorkshire Open Studios offers plenty of scope for exploration. Fifteen Ryedale artists will be taking part this year, ranging from jewellers, sculptors, photographers, glass makers, potters and painters.

Open Studios offers a unique opportunity for the public to meet individual artists in a diverse range of studios and settings, to gain an insight into how their work is produced and to buy direct from the artist.

Over 120 artists are taking part in all this year. If you would like a free brochure, they are available at local Tourist Information Centres or contact the organisers, Art Connections on 01756 748529  www.artconnections.org.uk.

Studio opening times for the two weekends (including Friday 11^th June) are 10.30am-5.30pm
