Open Studio

Every year you can get a chance to see our artwork displayed in the environment in which we have created it – at Allanbank Mill Steading, our home and studios, here in The Scottish Borders.

This is the time to see my Textile work – my chance to put works out on display.

Sculptural objects, drawings and ‘Growing Sculpture’ can be seen, made by my husband, Charlie Poulsen (www.charlespoulsen-sculpture.com and www.growingsculpture.com). Each year we invite a guest artist to join us, and for 2012 it will be Nigel Ross, who makes large scale, wooden sculpture. www.nigelross-sculpture.com

Before the four day event, we prepare – cleaning – clearing – painting – refurbishing – gardening – hanging and installing the artwork throughout the whole Steading, inside and out, turning it into an exciting exhibiting arena.

We open from Friday August 3rd until Monday 6th August in 2012,
From 11am-6pm each day.

We would like to invite you to join us!
