Somehow September has arrived which means that this year’s Perthshire Open Studios is only a few days away!
P.O.S is back in full effect after a wee hiatus and there will be over 120 artists, designers and makers welcoming the public to their workspaces and galleries
I’m experiencing a mixture of excitement and panic as this is my very first P.O.S and there’s an awful lot to tick off the to-do list before it kicks off on September 6th. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a deadline though, so I’m confident everything will be ship-shape and ready to roll come Wednesday!
Perthshire is a sizeable, mostly rural county so it has been split up into six easily navigatable areas – you can find me on the official South route, but I am also handy for the West route which covers our nearest town, Auchterarder. If you haven’t already picked up a brochure you can download one as a PDF from the P.O.S website and everyone has a What 3 Words address to help you find them. You can also browse each area’s studios online before you go – have a look at mine here
It’s a great opportunity to buy/see my new work and pieces I’m currently working on, as well as experiments and discounted items I won’t be selling anywhere else. It’s also a really fun way to explore corners of Perthshire which you might not see otherwise (I’m hidden down a quiet little single track road outside Dunning).
So look out for posters, banners, bunting and arrows around Perthshire, and keep an eye on my social media for updates and photos!
Hope to see you then
