“It was excellent to visit the Open Studios. You could visit different kinds of artists
e.g ceramics, painter, jewellery. There was the possibility to talk with every artist, to ask questions about their work and to look around not only their studios but also in their whole house. All the artists were so kind and friendly.”
"It was a great experience and gave me a lot of ideas.”
