ART LOVERS were treated to the sights and sounds of the Whiteknights Studio Trail, as 37 creators showcased their work at 27 venues.
The weekend exhibitions featured media such as video, painting, prints, glass making, carpentry and sound, and visitors were able to observe artists working in their own studios.
Centred on the theme of sustainability, it was somewhat fitting that the event ended with people trying to avoid the showers as the heavens opened on Sunday evening.
Jenny Halstead, trail coordinator and founding member, said: “It was another very successful Whiteknights Studio Trail – our 23rd, which this year embraced Reading Climate Change Festival with The Butterfly Effect community project in the garden of Venue 9 and Hope for the Planet in venue 14.
“A tropical storm made a very dramatic and theatrical ending to this wonderful weekend enjoyed by hundreds of visitors.”
Jenny welcomed visitors into her own garden to enjoy The Butterfly Effect, a community art installation made from up-cycled materials.
Hope for the Planet was hosted by one of the UK’s top 100 environmental professionals, Jonathan Dewsbury. Participating artists highlighted the role young people play in the battle against climate change through artwork hangings and maps.
