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)

Initially studying at Winchester, and then Derby Schools of Art, I obtained a degree in sculpture and 3D design. Twenty five years ago I moved to Yorkshire, training further in jewellery making. I now work from my small home studio in rural North Yorkshire producing one of a kind items of jewellery and limited ranges. I employ both traditional and self taught metalsmithing skills using precious metals, enamel and gemstones. I often incorporate bits and pieces I've found and collected for their texture, form or significance.
