Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage

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 am a painter and potter living on the Northeast coast. I have had a stall at the Staithes Arts and Crafts Centre for over 10 years and a selection of my ceramics and landscape paintings can be seen there from March until November. My ceramics are based on plants and animals in woodlands and under the sea, many having a whimsical quality to them. My paintings range from textural, multi media underwater scenes to realistic portrayals of the beautiful village of Staithes, Saltburn and the North york moors in either acrylics or more recently pen and watercolours. I look forward to greeting new and existing visitors again this year in the unspoilt, quaint Sealey Cottage.

Venue: Sealey Cottage, High Barrass

Medium: Ceramics. Landscape Paintings
