Surrey Open Studios takes place each summer giving the public an opportunity to visit studios, meet artists and makers, and view demonstrations. Visitors can also buy artwork, enter a free prize draw, view taster exhibitions and take part in creative workshops. Studio locations are throughout Surrey and bordering towns and villages.

You can search for Surrey artists – online each has an individual web page featuring up to 12 images of their artwork, listings of their exhibitions and workshops – where you can improve your own artistic skills .

Many also indicate when their studio is open – and if by appointment throughout the year.
