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)

Emma has been fascinated by glass since taking a bite sized course in York around 22 years ago. This inspired her to apply for and complete a BA in glass and Ceramics at Sunderland University. Her work is inspired by the structural patterns in nature, particularly seedheads but lately she has been experimenting with glass powders and enamels to produce landscapes and seascapes in glass. Being lucky enough to live between the North York Moors and the coast, there is always plenty of inspiration for her work.

Venue: Barras House Barras Square
