Artists and Makers
The Artists and Makers Area is one of the many delights at Wychwood Festival. An extremely talented group of artists showcase their work and demonstrate the skills and practices they have spent years perfecting. It’s a real hive of creativity and an insight into the artistic process.
There are workshops for you to explore your own artistic talents, so come and find inspiration surrounded by beautiful artwork. There’s plenty for the kids (of all ages!) to get stuck into and if you want to take your art more seriously, a tremendous wealth of experience and expertise will be on hand to help.
