ARTISTS enjoyed showcasing their creations during a special trail last weekend – and there is another chance for people to catch their work this weekend.

The annual Caversham Arts Trail (CAT) runs over two weekends, giving people the chance to explore the area as well as discovering great art.

The event takes place in a range of venues, including studios and homes, and reduces the barriers between creators and viewers.

Many of the pieces from the 33 artists on show in 13 venues were available to purchase.

Julie Simmonds, one of the trail’s organisers, was thrilled with how the opening weekend had gone.

“I have visited many of the venues and I have been so impressed by the quality of the work on show, the warm welcome and, as organiser, it is so lovely to see CAT artists talking to visitors and spending time explaining their work, process and the ideas behind it.”

She continued: “This year we have reinstated the much loved demonstrations during the Trail with more to come next weekend. One visitor loved the demonstration so much they bought the work: how wonderful.

“I believe the demonstrations really help visitors understand the processes behind the work and I wholeheartedly believe in demystifying the nature of art and craft to make it accessible to all.

“Anyone can be creative, you’ve just got to try and not worry.”

While most venues are open from 11am to 5pm, for some artists they had to be up with the lark: “Sunday morning was an early start for two of our artists as they were taking part in the Caversham Farmers and Artisan market in Caversham for the first time, and will be there next Sunday 10am-3pm.”

And this week gives an opportunity for artists to replenish their supplies, as Ms Simmonds explained: “I know that most of the artists, like myself, will be in their studios frantically making new work in readiness for Saturday as they have sold so much over the weekend, a sure sign of a successful Trail.”
