It’s always a joy to get inside artists’ studios and when Cockpit Arts have their Open Days, I’m there like shot. I went to the Bloomsbury site in Northington Street and was blown away by the fabulous creativity going on. I loved chatting to the artists and craftspeople who were there in their spaces ready to greet visitors. Rather than do a lot of chat, I’m just posting the photos I took and have captioned the images where I have the details. Enjoy the tour!

Loved Lisa Atkin’s creative weaving.
These woven chairs on chunks of trunk were wonderful
Natasha Mann is a decorative aritst who has a collection of wonderful earth colours to paint with. http://www.natasha-mann.com

Lucille Lewin creates very intricate and exotic ceramicshttp://www.lucillelewin.com
This tipsy jug was so appealing. All the pieces were made from the sand and silt from the River Thames.
Enjoyed chatting to Jacky Oliver about her work and the way her creations convey strong messages about the environment and social issues.

There were so many more amazing works I saw but I simply can’t include everything. Look forward to returning next year and seeing how everyone has progressed at Cockpit Arts.
