Now in its 23rd year, York Open Studios gives residents and visitors to the city the chance to get up close to the work of more than 150 artists. Grace Hammond reports.
Across two weekends in April, visitors to York can meet more than 150 artists and find out more about their inspirations and processes, often seeing them in their workplace, at their easel, wheel, bench and in some cases shared artist space.
Brought up in a working-class household on the edge of East London, George now relishes working with recycled materials. “As a child, my family couldn’t afford expensive craft sets or artist materials, so I made do with what was around me,” he explains. Following a degree in film theatre studies and the completion of an MA in fine art from Metropolitan London University, George worked in London creating mascot costumes, storyboards and eventually in-store sets for retailers.
