WITH more than 200 venues taking part, Somerset Open Studios (September 17-October 2) is a county wide opportunity to meet artists and makers from a range of disciplines in their working environment. It includes established names such as Richard Pomeroy and Marissa Weatherhead as well as emerging artists revealing how they work, their inspiration, and creative processes.

Disciplines range from the visual arts, sculpture, stone carving and metalwork to textiles, wood, jewellery, furniture, glass and mixed media. Meet the artist face-to-face in their own small studio, home, or temporary studio space; browse and buy or place a personal commission for a special piece.
