Get Lost and Discover!

Nothing like some arts and crafts to distract from the forgettable spring weather

April is the time of year I get out and about to see what creatives and artists in York have been up to. 100 odd sites across the city allow you to see what other people do in terms of painting, sculpting, ceramics, printing and generally craft work of some sort.

This venue showed the artists books of ideas, thoughts etc.

It is also possible to see the places where these works of art are created and chat with the artists themselves about their thinking and ideas.

They often show their methods, tools and also records.

As it happened we had an old guide book so the tour was a bit of a voyage of discovery- yet it meant we saw people and art we had not planned to. Some of it was not only a surprise but very enjoyable to discover. And as usual we got lost in the backstreets of York.

All in all it usually results in me feeling a bit expansive, what could I do in the way of arts and craft?

At least it was dry the day we took in the open studios and our route took us through the recently reopened Rowntree park – now the river Ouse has dropped its levels a bit!

At least it’s a cheering and pleasurable event in what is proving to be a fairly miserable Spring.
