open studio 2012

I came home the other day to a massive estate agents sign outside our house. Hello, I thought, are we for sale? No, it's advertising our open studio for the next two weekends. We will be open on 12th/13th May and 19th/20th May from 11am to 6pm. Wallpaper, cushions, prints, tea towels, seconds and samples to buy all at special open studio prices. All information on the Open House website where you can also find us on a map (we are no. 157, on the fringe near the woods)

There are a lot of artists and designers showing their work over the two weekends so I think it's well worth the trip to leafy Southeast London. The sad thing is that I am on duty here so I can't get out to visit any other studios. But if I could, here is where I would go this year:
Sally Nencini
Lubna Chowdhary
Bainbridge Studios
Museum of Colour
Chocolate Creative
Charlene Mullen
Schneider
Kay Vincent

Lots more here.
