James Pegg from Blenheim Arches shares his thoughts on his 2016 Open Studio Experience…

Give us a highlight from the weekend
Just genuine people who were interested and bought things. Good age group for my market 25-45.

Can you Give us an approximate number of total visitors to your studio over the weekend
300? Maybe more?!

We asked Eleanor Wemyss what her favourite thing about being a part of the Open Studios last year was…

Meeting people! I was so impressed with the amount of people who actually wanted to talk to me about my work in a really engaging way. It gave people a chance to see what goes on inside Bussey. There were also people who were completely unaware of us and they were so responsive to the work in the studio and everything else going on.

I have made connections with some great people and it particularly helped having a beer to offer to get them to stick around a bit longer for a chat !
