Kingsgate Open Studios

The studios are on three floors in a converted 19th century warehous with what must be "original design features" - though it was probably built before the days of electricity.
Lots of potters there, also furniture makers, painters, textiles - a good mix. Here are some pots made by 6 year olds in a class - including the Leaning Tower of Pisa - not bad, eh? -
We dropped in to a life-drawing session. Boy could that model sit still....
Stepping back and seeing the not-really-finished picture in relation to the model is instructive - Here's a bit of wall with a history - in a painter's studio of course -Great way to spend an afternoon.
