FURTHER INFORMATION ON WENDI WATSON'S HEALTH

It is now clear that Wendi is suffering from Dementia and will not be able to continue organising these events.

I am attempting to speak to various people about the possibility of restarting Open Studios for 2011.

As a result of her illness she no longer has contact with as many people and is unfortunately becoming a bit withdrawn and cut off, it would really help if (when in this area) any of her artist friends could spare five minutes to drop in and say hello.

Many thanks,

MIKE WATSON


"Hampshire Open Studios" aims to promote the activities and sales of artists and craftspeople living or working in Hampshire.

The sixteen-day open studio 'trail' gives people the opportunity of visiting artists exhibiting in their homes, studios and village halls. Most of the work is for sale, with the benefit of direct selling.

The free Visitors Guide can be obtained by post from us by sending an SAE to the address on our Contact Us page or from tourist information centres, art galleries and similar outlets, from June 2009.

To view artists' images, please select the "2009 Event" and "2008 Event" links.

We have been nominated for a Hantsweb Award
