The South Northamptonshire Art Trail 2016 runs until Sunday, October 16.

For the third year of this event, there will be more than 40 local artists giving people a glimpse of the creative process when they open their doors to the public or exhibit their work at various venues across the south of the county.

During the trail, as well as viewing the wide range of work, people will have the opportunity to meet the artists, and in many cases watch them at work.

Painters, sculptors, jewellers, textile artists, photographers, ceramicists, glass artists, wood-turners and more will be happy to answer questions about their work as visitors explore the studios and creative spaces throughout the district.

Work on display is often for sale and the Art Trail is a chance for artists to take commissions.

Particular highlights include Roy Holding’s huge Tuscan landscapes in his Towcester studio, and in contrast, Penny German’s still-life daily paintings in Caldecote.
