Open Studios in the Sunshine…
What an absolutely delightful day I have shared today, with such enormously talented people! The first day of the Gedling Artists’ inaugural Open Studios event at Arnot Hill Park in Arnold was bathed in sunshine and a stream of visitors enjoyed perusing the artworks and chatting with the creative types.
Welcome refreshments and sumptuous sweet treats came courtesy of Frabjous Events and sitting in the sun, overlooking the bowling green and the gorgeous multi-coloured rhododendrons and Stephen’s fabulous masks!
The best news is that we get to do it all again tomorrow!… So if you find yourself in Arnold, please drop in!
