Art, unlike nature, does not hibernate, and nor do the organisers of the Arran Open Studios (AOS), who have been chivvying away all through this wet winter paving the way for this year’s event in August.
To anybody new to the island, AOS promotes an open studios weekend where local artists and craftspeople open their workshops and studios to the public. This is a chance to have a privileged look into the engine rooms of the visual arts on Arran.
