SEOS Artist and Area Coordinator Anthea Stewart (@ashdownpottery) talks about her experiences taking part in South East Open Studios...

Anthea says:
"Bill and I have exhibited with SEOS over the last couple of years and really enjoy showing people around our pottery. Our visitors can look around our garden, studios and watch demonstrations. We both enjoy inspiring anyone wishing to learn pottery or become part of an artist community.

By volunteering to help SEOS I hope we can both inspire more people to enjoy art whether it be opening their own studio, visiting artists or making pieces themselves"

Georgina says:
"I enjoyed being a part of my first SEOS last year. I found all the other artists welcoming and friendly.

I think it’s a great opportunity to keep “Art” within the community. It will enable me to meet other ceramicists and discuss my work."

SEOS Artist and Area Coordinator Sarah Youseman (@sarahyouseman) talks about her South East Open Studios experience...

Sarah says:
"Opening my studio was a hugely rewarding and invigorating experience. Talking about and showing my work to visitors is such a privilege and an opportunity to connect with other artists as well as the public.
It’s a great reason to invite friends and family too as they get a chance to see your work laid out to admire. The excellent guides function as a catalogue of local artists that people keep long after Open Studios has finished."

First proper day back at work and I’m happy to say I’ve signed up to do @seopenstudios again this summer.
This event has a very special place in my heart as it was the very first event I did, back in 2021. I always have lots of nice visitors and it’s a good excuse to hang out at the beach!

🗺 Come June, we want art lovers to be able to find our artists and their studios easily, so this year, when you register we will ask you for your 'What 3 Words' address. If you're signing up for SEOS 2023, please make sure that you have it ready before you hit that 'Register Now' button!

What is 'What 3 Words'?
What3Words is an initiative where the world has been divided into 3 metre squares. Each square has been given a unique combination of three words. It’s a very easy way to find and share exact locations.

How do I find my What 3 Words address?
Visit: https://what3words.com/ and type your STUDIO or VENUE’S postcode into the search box at the top. Click the exact location of your studio on the map and make a note of the three identifying words it gives you.
