This year is the 10th eagerly anticipated Wokingham Arts Trail and promises to build on the success of previous years. 11 venues around Wokingham Borough will showcase the work of 29 artists.

In addition to paintings, original handmade prints, ceramics, glass, handmade books, jewellery and textiles a mosaic artist will be opening her studio in Winnersh and a photographer will be displaying his work at The Art Company of Molly Millars Lane, Wokingham.

Eight artists new to the trail will be exhibiting alongside some familiar faces and two new venues will give the opportunity to see how the artists' work changes and develops over time.

By downloading and following the detailed map the venues can be discovered which relate to the corresponding artists, leading to artists' studios and homes as well as Gorse Ride Infant School and W.A.D.E. on Reading Road. Entry to all is FREE.
