Michael Forrest and David Knight: Open Studio
Thursday, 24th July, 2008 at 10:57 am, Isle of Wight
Continuing with the Open Studios weekend, here’s another to make sure you visit …. An Open Studio Exhibition by artists Michael Forrest and David Knight.
Taking place in the Showroom of well known Island business, A J Wells and Sons in Newport, new works will be displayed focusing on vitreous enamel, plus a chance to see Michael and David at work on new enamel pieces.
A taster of what to expect can be seen at The Studio Cafe in Newport. We went along to the cafe’s launch last week and will have podcasts coming out on VentnorBlog over the next day or so.
Regular readers will remember that Michael featured in our first VentnorBlog Presents … exhibition held last February.
The showroom studio will be open between 10-1pm and 2-5pm on Friday, Saturday and Monday (not Sunday).
Directions can be found on the A J Wells Web site.

My daughter and I went to some of the Ventnor open studios last weekend, I can highly recommend going. All the artists we visited (Jane Flux, David Badman, Bridget Boudewijn, Joy Jolliffe, Annik Cullinane, Josephine Lloyd) were very friendly and welcoming. We spent far longer at each one than we thought we would so did not get to see as many as we hoped but will try and get to the rest next year.
We are going to have a look at some of the open studios over in the strange side of the Island this weekend. After seeing examples of Michael’s work at the Ventnor Blog Presents Exhibition we will certainly be calling in to see his latest efforts.
If you have never visited any of the open studios, don’t be shy, do go along it is very inspiring. If you are really inspired many of the artists offer workshops and some even offer free taster sessions.
