Final Day of the always fantastic #stroud @Select__Arts Its a tradition of mine to try & tick my way through all of the brochure so I've got a busy day ahead. If you've also been visiting the open studios of our local artists the past couple of weekends what are your highlights?

There is a poetry in some toponyms, a poetry that sometimes reflects the watery genius loci of Stroud and the five valleys. How fitting to discover Susan Early, at Frogmarsh Mill, weaving with willow. Baskets, both traditional and useful, sculptures and decorative pieces too.

Inchbrook is another example. Springs and fast flowing streams powered the local cloth trade from spring water inching its way down the valleys. How fitting to discover Angie Parker continuing the tradition of weaving with hand-woven textiles at @studio_article in Inchbrook Mill!
“After months of planning, making and creating, it's finally here: the Select Trail 2021 open studios. Grab a brochure (or find one online) and meander over the dales and vales of the Five Valleys to discover the work of over 50 makers and artists.

After months of staying in, I’m so excited to get out and have the treat of seeing other people's spaces - especially spaces full of ideas, creativity and beautiful things. Hopefully I’ll see you on the Trail!” - Elizabeth Bailey, Creative Director #SelectTrail
