Celebrate Local Art and Craft at Pierrepont Farm’s Artwork Day

On Saturday, May 10th, Pierrepont Farm’s The Old Dairy in Farnham, Surrey will host an Artwork Day showcasing the creativity and talent of local artists and artisans.  

Running from 12 pm to 5 pm, the event promises to show work of a similar standard to that which you’d find in an art gallery, with 12 invited artists plus some of the resident artisans in the beautiful surroundings of the farm. 

Organiser Peter Quarmby, who is known for his handcrafted Windsor chairs, expressed his excitement about the event, saying: 

“We’re really looking forward to showcasing the talents of 12 invited artists whose work spans a wide range of media, from weaving and pottery to glasswork, knitwear, and painting. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience and purchase art in the beautiful surroundings of the farm.” 

In addition to the invited artists, the event may also feature the craftsmanship of resident businesses at the farm, including: 

• Cheese making 

• Jewellery design 

• Fudge production 

• Bas-relief sculpture 

• Collage art 

• Screen prints 

• Furniture renovation 

“We’re thrilled to host another open day in association with Farnham Craft Town,” Peter added. “The farm is a beautiful place to visit at any time, and we hope that many people will come to enjoy the art, meet the artists, and have a relaxing and enjoyable day.”
