Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage has established itself as one of the friendliest festivals on the Yorkshire coast — a must-see weekend in the regional arts calendar.
Step inside a village like no other as the doors of cottages are thrown open, transforming Staithes into a trail of pop-up art galleries showcasing painting, print, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, photography and more.
Alongside the open studios, enjoy a programme celebrating Staithes’ rich history and heritage, including walks, talks, photographs and film shows.
Location: Staithes — 11 miles north of Whitby (TS13 5BH)

I create a range of fused glass pieces from jewellery to framed artwork. I love the depth of colour that can be achieved in glass and use a variety of techniques to achieve this including painting on glass, frit, layering and glass casting. My work is then fused in a kiln to over 800°C
Venue: Staithes Museum
Medium: Fused Glass
