Opening Celebration

We’d love you to join us to celebrate the opening of Furzebrook Studios.

The details of the event are as follows:
Location: Furzebrook Studios, 52 Furzebrook Road, Wareham, Dorset BH20 5AX
Date: Sunday, 26th November 2017
Time: 12pm – 4pm

Refreshments
There will be a team of helpers serving tea, coffee, cake, mulled wine & mince pies throughout the event for you to enjoy.

Open studios
All 6 artists will be opening their studios for you to explore. There is a mixture of ceramics, art, printmaking, silver/gold jewellery and a scenic model maker.

Exhibition
The foyer houses a good selection of Rachel Fook’s work for sale – perfect for getting some Christmas presents! The other artists will also have a range of beautifully made hand-crafted items for you to purchase. In addition, the people who attend Rachel Fook’s pottery classes and Julie Herring’s art classes will also be showing a selection of their pottery and art.

Raffle
There will be a raffle with many fantastic prizes, including a voucher of £75 (to be spent on a sculpture of your choice from Rachel Fook’s ceramics collection).

Auction
Rachel Fooks has a very ugly fish that she made some time ago that desperately needs a home! So, for a bit of fun and for the ugly fish to find a new home, she’ll be selling it to the highest bidder!

Music
We’ll also be having ‘Tom Pointer’ singing for us. Tom is a recording artist who takes influence from musicians such as Alabama Shakes, James Bay and D’Angelo. Lovely!

From Swanage:

Car Parking
Whilst we’re extremely fortunate to have lots of car parking space, unfortunately, due to the driveway being single track, we can’t use the car park for this event. However, there’s loads of parking along the roadside directly outside of the premises which is totally ok to use.

We really hope you can come, hopefully, see you there!
