… that will help you enjoy the Open Studios at this year’s Coastal Currents Arts Festival. I know many of you will be concerned about how tall the artists will be who are exhibiting their work this year. The following practical hints might be of help when visiting their studios. 1. If […]
Once again it’s open studio season in the Hastings area when people are allowed to shoot artists. When you’ve taken your pictures you will have the opportunity to watch the artists in their natural environment. Watch some flinging materials around like spoilt children and others who are more precise carefully balancing ‘stuff’ that […]
