This weekend the third North Fife Open Studios event will take place when over thirty artists, designers and makers open their studios to the public.

Over the 3 and 4 May 2008 there is the opportunity to see a wide range of work including textiles, metal, glass, ceramics, jewellery and furniture. 

The event has a selection of routes covering Auchtermuchty, Dunshelt, Falkland, Newburgh, Collessie, Giffordtown, Cupar, Gauldry, Ladybank, Strathkinness, Blebocraigs, Wormit and Newport on Tay. 

One of the new participants this year is wood artist Leo Norris, who is based in Ladybank.  He uses local hardwood grown in Fife and metal to create a range of objects including clocks, bowls and mirrors.   His work often features recycled materials.

North Fife Open Studios is on Saturday 3 May 2008 from 10am to 7pm and Sunday 4 May 2008 from 11am to 5pm.  Participants display a white ‘open studio’ sign board with a number corresponding to their number in the brochure which can be downloaded, or just viewed, at www.openstudiosfife.co.uk
