our 2024 story

This was our third year of running an open studio and we had a great time meeting and greeting a lot of visitors. Whilst we were often busy, we found time to have a bit of fun (Theresa and Margaret sporting Helen’s bucket hats was typical!). There was also a bit of trickery with one of Roy’s fused glass plates and Helen’s stitched cat being blended to form a framed print.

For 2025, we have decided to re-arrange the exhibition space a little to create more room and provide some space for our new member, Tracey, of PaisleyRoseDesigns who makes custom lamps and lampshades.

All change at the Barn

Helen and Theresa have combined their units at The Barn Emporium, and can now be found on the lower ground floor. New shelving has been assembled and installed and it’s looking good.

Check out this little video below to see more, or pop along to the Barn Emporium at Durleighmarsh, on the A272 between Petersfield and Rogate.

The 2023 rushes road creatives enjoying a well earned tipple at the close of the event. We had a lot of lovely visitors, many of whom didn’t leave empty handed, for which we were all extremely delighted. We’ll be plotting another outing in 2024 – keep tabs on our website and respective social media accounts for further information in due course.
