With help from Scene Stirling, the first Open Studios Stirlingshire event took place in June 2024, and is back again for the 3rd year for 2026. The dates are from Saturday 19th – Sunday 27th September, later in the year than previously!
Open Studios Stirlingshire showcases some of the many talented artists and makers of the area, giving an exciting taste of the working lives of the creative people in rural Stirlingshire, the spaces where they make their work, and an insight into how living in the country and the local landscapes have often inspired their work.
During the event visitors are invited to visit Artists and Makers, often in their working studios. It is an opportunity to see what they do, discuss their ideas, techniques and materials, be inspired or even ‘have a go’, try a new skill, join a workshop, and buy work directly from the artists.
We hope you will enjoy exploring the Stirlingshire countryside while travelling to the event venues. Many of the artists live in very beautiful rural locations, and there is fabulous scenery to see along the way!
Come and see paintings, pottery, photography, weaving, basket making, jewellery, mosaics, animation, demonstrations and lots more!
