Jackey is one of 27 people taking part in this annual event in and around Wetherby.  

Jackey is exhibiting her work in Walton Village Hall, along with 4 other artists.  She finds the contrast of light and shade in landscapes exciting and wants to convey that to people who view her work.  As an alternative,  she will be working on Wildlife. Pastel and watercolour are her favourite mediums but she has tried her hand at most mediums.

Katy is one of 27 artists and makers taking part in this annual event.

Katy is primarily a felt artist. Her main focus is painting with wool fibres. She has developed her work in wet felting for several years. She also loves to work with other textile forms and acrylic painting. Her work is inspired by the local countryside, the changing seasons and the beauty of the moors, the coast and the teeniest tiny flower.

Katy works in her tiny workshop in her garden, near Wetherby. As it's so tiny, she will be exhibiting in Ailsa's Studio in Bardsey.

An annual event taking place this year, 2025, on the 21 & 22 and 28 & 29th June. 27 artists and makers within 6 miles of Wetherby open their studio doors to the public to see them at work and enjoy the art. Painting in various media, sculpture, textile and felt art as well as jewellery and ceramics will all feature in this event.
