Celebrate Oxfordshire Artweeks with Makespace Oxford
Last week marked the start of Oxfordshire Artweeks, the UK’s oldest and biggest artist open studios and pop-up exhibition event. The event runs each year, and invites guests to feast their eyes on a huge range of creative activities by hundreds of artists, makers and designers across the county.
A number of our residents at Makespace Oxford Aristotle Lane will be joining in the celebrations this year, opening their doors to visitors curious to learn more about their work. All six studios will be open from 11am–5pm from the 13th to the 15th of May.
The creatives taking part are Makespace Oxford residents Cassandra Smith, Bethan Axford, Anna Yearwood and Claire Berliner, as well as community ceramics studio Sabali Pots and upcycling enterprise Paint Buzz.
