Between the 2nd of June and the 22nd June, The Willow Gallery and participating Open Studio artists will also be playing host to a phenomenal amount of free workshops and drop ins – from working with textiles –felting, machine embroidery art and collage, wax modelling, wood carving and CAD modelling and 3d sculpture. Places are bound to be limited, but do contact the Willow Gallery for more details.
Sat 14th & Sun 15th June and Sat 21st & Sun 22nd June are Open Studio weekends with 28 artists displaying works in 15 studios in and around Oswestry.
