Cold Harbour Farm used to be busy with the sounds of cows being milked and pigs being fed.
Now however, it is the peaceful work place to nine talented artists who use the rural setting to produce a wide variety of original work.
The artists at Calf House Studios, Cold Harbour Farm, in Bishop Burton are holding an open day on Sunday November 25 between 11 am and 3pm. It will be well signed from the village of Bishop Burton.
The resident artists are: Tracey Spurgin who designs and runs classes on silver and bronze jewellery; John Denton a master portrait photographer; Peter Brown who is a stone carver and abstract artist; Debbie March glass artist who makes bowls, pictures, coasters and birds in coloured glass; Alison Brice who creates amazing shapes on her potter’s wheel; Graham Chambers who paints rural scenes in watercolours and oils; Lynnda Worsnop a stamp designer who also sells craft supplies; and Rob Porter who makes items from recycled wooden wine boxes.
It will also be a first chance at Calf House Studios to see the work of Claire West who will be joining the artists at the farm in the New Year. Claire is known for her happy and colourful pictures and prints
The open day on Sunday will be chance to see the artists working in their studios and it will be possible to buy work direct from them without any gallery commission. Many of the artists run courses from their studios so it will be a chance to book places for the New Year.
As Cold Harbour is still a working farm there will be a chance to see some of the newly born calves in the beef herd.
