Guest Blog: HOST Open Studio Trail
Thank you to Dionne Swift of Host Studios for this guest blog post.
Huddersfield and its surrounding area is exceptionally fortunate to be home to a plethora of nationally respected creative talents, in a vast array of disciplines: jewellery, textiles, painting, sculpture, ceramics and furniture.
HOST is now in its fifth year and provides a unique opportunity to visit the artists in their own studios and workshops. You can watch them at work, see what inspires them, perhaps have a go yourself and get inspired!
It’s also an opportunity to buy work direct from the artist, and to chat to them about their thoughts and inspiration for your chosen piece of work. You could also commission a special piece to be made exclusively for you.
Fifty artists in 22 studios will be opening their doors for two weekends at the end of September. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to explore their private and personal spaces of spontaneity, innovation and deliberation.
If you would like to support HOST and benefit from invitations to VIP launch events and discounts from artists, log on to the website and register as a Friend of HOST for only £20 a year.
