Eel Pie Island – Open Studios Weekend

This weekend the artists on Eel Pie island open up to the public.

Eel Pie island is a private island on the Thames at Twickenham. In addition to mixed dwellings and a nature reserve, the island is home to 26 artists studios all situated in and around a working boatyard. Twice a year, the island opens up to the public and the studios open their doors to interested visitors providing a unique opportunity to see inside a real working artist’s studio, talk to the artists and purchase or commission new art worksuh

Our next open weekend will be on Sat Dec 7th & Sunday Dec 8th 2013 from
11.00-6.00pm.
