"I just cannot get around from one
studio to the next fast enough! I have enjoyed every studio I have
visited and badgered others to go and see the work.”"We thoroughly enjoy visiting artists in their studios, particularly if they are working at the time. The standards this year are excellent.”
Quotes from visitors to Devon Open Studios 2009.

Unlike traditional galleries there is no commission on sales and all the money goes directly to the artists who made the work.
The range of work on show is fantastic encompassing painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, textiles, jewellery, collage, works in glass, metal, wood and paper, furniture making, installations and a variety of work utilising new media.
