The Vernon Mill Artists occupy studios on the 3rd and 4th floors of a former cotton spinning mill in Stockport (NorthWest UK). They are one of the largest artist-led studio groups in England, with over 40 artists over the two floors (and have new studios being readied for occupancy).

The annual Open Studio Event will this year be in October. The Preview Evening is Friday 1st Oct. 7-10pm, and the studios will be open for the weekends of 2nd/3rd and 9th/10th October 10am-4pm. There will be a wide variety of art on show and for sale, and you will be able to talk to the artists in the studios and see them at work.

For more details of this and other events and classes, see the Vernon Mill Artists website.
