Devon Open Studios is the annual flagship event of the Devon Artist Network, when its members open their doors to the public.

The network includes potters, jewellery makers, wood workers, needle workers and many other creatives, as well as painters.

Among those to take part this year will be Axminster artist Zee Jones.

Born in London in 1955, Zee studied Social Sciences at Middlesex Polytechnic. In 2009, she attended Somerset College of Art and Technology for a year long art course.

Following a life long career as a social care professional, Zee is now based in Devon and concentrates her time drawing and painting.

Influenced by 20th century modernists, her work which will be displayed during her open studio has been described as confident, strong with a compelling use of structure and colour.

You can find Zee at her studio above Collate Interiors in Trinity Square, West Street, Axminster (EX13 5AN), which will be open from 10am to 5pm on September 11 to 13, September 17 to 20, and September 24 to 26.

Others to take part in this year's Devon Open Studios include Hesta Singlewood, Alex Boon and Anna Brewster who have teamed up to exhibit their interpretations of nature along the Jurassic Coast at the Umborne Bridge Studio in Colyton.

You can find the studio at Unit 1, Dolphin Street, Colyton (EX24 6LU), just a short walk from the tram stop and local shops.

Opening hours are 10am to 4pm every day from September 11 to 26. Accessible with ramp and following COVID-safe guidelines, parking available on site.

Seaton artist Julie Roberston will also be taking part in Devon Open Studios again this year.

Julie has now been at her uniquely named Kamikaze Tortoise Studio in Rogers Way, Seaton, for two years.

During her open studio she will be displaying her latest colourful work, as well as selling cards and giftware from just £2.50 upwards, serving cream teas and holding demonstrations.

Julie also produces sculptural pieces which have been shown at Sousouwest Gallery in Symondsbury, near Bridport, and online with The South West Academy.

Her studio will be open to the public from 10am to 5pm on September 12 and 13, from September 16 to 19 and from September 23 to 26.

You can find her at 7 Rogers Way, off off Barnards Hill Lane, Seaton (EX12 2FY) or email [email protected] for more details.
