Georgia: Making Space Open Studios 2016

As most of you probably already know, Making Space’s annual Open Studios event is around the corner!

Tying in as usual with the May Day Arts Trail in Havant, this event will be held over the weekend of the 14th and 15th May 2016. We are also hosting a private view for our curated exhibition Made By Hands, on 13th May 2016.

This year, Making Space is exhibiting a showcase of local talent including our participants outstanding creations and amazing community projects which have happened since Open Studios 2015.

Made By Hands is a selected showcase for talented BTEC, A Level and Foundation Diploma students studying in the surrounding areas. We are curating the exhibition with the help of a panel of professional artists, showcasing as many fantastic pieces of craft as we can facilitate. As the lead community craft organisation in Hampshire, Making Space is inviting local talented students to submit work to this professional exhibition, that they feel fits the theme of ‘Craft’.
