Come and see a wonderful mix of paintings, felt and mixed media, photography, jewellery and sculpture from the following artists:

Henrietta Clare - Photography

Annie George - Paintings

Suzie Gutteridge - Felt and Mixed Media

Scarlet Leatham - Photography

Mariota Percival - Paintings

Louisa Saffioti - Paintings

Also taking part in the Art Trail is the Mill's very own Tamsin Loveday (Studio 5 in the Trail Guide). Tamsin runs Barefoot Bindery from her Studio on the first floor of Fisherton Mill and will be offering a unique opportunity to view her personal sketchbooks and art journals. Tamsin will also be holding a workshop during the Art Trail on Sunday 11 September (details below).

We are open from Monday - Saturday and will be opening for one Sunday during the Art Trail - Sunday 11th September from 11 - 4 (on this Sunday the Café will be open for drinks and cakes only).
