From May 31st – June 8th this year, artists all over the Highlands will throw open their doors and invite you in to have a look behind the scenes of a busy artist’s studio. Painters, printmakers, makers of woollen, wooden, stone, clay, delicate and dramatic objects will welcome in the public to see them at work. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy a visit and gain an insight into the workings of a Highland Artist.

The Highlands Open Studios 2008 group is an exciting organisation of 106 artists, craft-makers and galleries, living and working across the Highlands from Ballachuilish in the south to John O’Groats in the north and from Tomintoul in the east right across to the Western Isles. Artists are working together to promote and showcase the best of art currently available across the Highland region.

Why not check out the directory or the website (http://www.highlandsopenstudios.co.uk) which details all the studios with contact numbers and opening times.
