What’s behind that door?

That was half the fun of Berwick Open Studios.

Over two weekends, artists across the town opened up their studios, homes and gardens, giving us a glimpse into the places where creativity actually happens.

There was brilliant work everywhere, but judging by what we heard all weekend, everyone also rather enjoyed the chance to have a good nosey behind usually closed doors. Turns out, we all rather like being invited into places we’d never normally get to wander into.

We were there photographing the event and capturing all the fun, with Sarah and me covering the first weekend, and Stella stepping in to help Sarah on the second.

Such a great couple of weekends, and the town had a real buzz about it. Follow Berwick Open Studios and keep an eye on their page for the final photographs. by @berwickopenstudios
