WHITEKNIGHTS Studio Trail is set to return this June for its 22nd edition.
The walking tour will showcase 38 artists, whose work will be displayed in 24 venues surrounding the University of Reading.
Participating artists will open up their studios and homes, allowing for creator interaction, live demonstrations and an opportunity to purchase pieces.
WST will showcase artwork in a range of mediums including paintings, mixed media, ceramics and more beyond.
With venues located only a stone’s throw apart, there will be ample opportunity for attendees to wander between exhibitions, five of which will be serving refreshments.
Local artist Emily Gillmor will be presenting a range of prints, drawings and paintings, but her specialism lies in screen printing.
“I like using lines,” Ms Gillmor explained. “I also enjoy making multiples of things and I find that I can translate both of those elements into screen printing.”
The University of Reading’s Printmaker in Residence also spoke glowingly of WST’s format.
“There’s such a wide variety of different artistic practices on show and it’s all of a high standard.” Ms Gillmor said. “As an artist, I love meeting the people and children who drop in and having a chat with them about the processes involved in creating the pieces.”
Ms Gillmor will be one of five artists located at Peckover Hall, Leighton Park School for the duration of the weekend.
Unique to this year, an exclusive 20x20cm exhibition will be held in aid of The British Red Cross – Ukraine Appeal.
The collection will feature framed pieces donated by each artist, displayed at the Turret Gallery at the Abbey School.
WST will take place on Saturday, June 11 and Sunday, June 12 with exhibitions open from 11am to 6pm on both days.
