What to expect on your visit
You will receive a warm welcome from the artists, have the opportunity to see original arts and crafts, and meet the makers and creators. You can buy original pieces of work from members and, in many locations, enjoy refreshments and beautiful open gardens, too.

Planning your visit
You can visit as many or as few artists as you wish. Please check the dates, opening and closing times and locations of your chosen artist(s) via the PAOS website before you set off so you can enjoy as many venues as you want within the area. Many of the artists have card readers to make instant payments, but it’s always a good idea to bring cash as well if you are planning to make a purchase.

PAOS in The Moment…
Across this issue, we’ll be showcasing just some of the artists who will be taking part in the Open Studio project this summer. We hope you enjoy this taster of what’s to come – and hope it inspires you to find out more by visiting some of the artists’ studios in person!

Access
As most of the artists are in their own homes and studios, disabled access may be limited. It may be worthwhile contacting the artist before you set off to discuss your requirements.
