About
Visit Banks Mill during our winter Open Studios event to meet over 50 artists, designers, makers and creative services businesses.
As well as seeing first hand how our artists create their unique designs and handmade products you can also buy original work directly from the artists themselves, something that can't be experienced on the high street. Or meet one of our creative service businesses to discuss how they can work with you; from digital and video promotion to photography services.
To find out about all our artists taking part visit our open studios website. Among the artists taking part you can see a variety of different disciplines including:
- Art
