Time to hit the road and set out on an arts packed week in Somerset exploring studios, meeting artists, drinking (tea), getting lost and viewing, well, art! For the first time during my art weeks visits myself and my family decided to venture northwards toward Burnham and Brent Knoll to check out the studios open there this Art Weeks.
We got around to 8 venues in total this afternoon, I've listed them below in the order we visited them. I hope it inspires you and gives possible route suggestions of venues to visit this Art Weeks. Today was a very good and enjoyable start to the week, please watch this space as I'll be posting my visits everyday here on the SAW blog.
