July is a funny one as I'm doing fewer events, but they are longer 2 3 day fairs, so really have to pace myself.

This month sees my returning to some venues for the first time this year, as well as taking part in something new a bit closer to home.

Hebden Bridge Open Studios

My first weekend of July see me back in my creative home away from home, Hebden Bridge, for their open studios event, my 2nd with them, my 1st summer one, which I'm really excited about.

Hebden Bridge open studios consists of 130 artists in various locations and independent studios, in the town and around neighbouring ones including within Mytholmroyd and Heptonstall, showcasing the amazing talent from around the region
 

With the exhibition taking place in the town hall, they have acquired more space at the Methodist church, where you will find me and 28 other artists, ceramicists, illustrators and jewellers.

Hebden Bridge Open Studios is in various locations, but I will be at the Methodist Church, Market Street Hebden Bridge, HX7 6AA.

Holden Clough Artisan Market

This will be my first visit of the year to this fabulous shamy chic venue.  I adore the easiness decor that lends itself to the wabi sabi philosophy that I'm embracing at the moment.
 

With a wide range of stalls selling handmade unique gifts, crafts and art, it's a wonderful opportunity to discover talented local makers and enjoy a relaxed day in the heart of the community, wonder through the nursery or have a break in the cafe.

Hydrangea Artisan Market will be held at Holden Clough Nurseries, Holden Nr. Bolton-by-Bowland, Lancashire. BB7 4PF
