8 Neil Warmsley Neil Warmsley has always exhibited his sketchbooks during Open Studios, demonstrating how the germ of an idea evolves into a painting. Visitors often find themselves fully absorbed in the back catalogue of his decades of sketchbooks! As well as these, at his studio this year you can see oil paintings, drawings and a new glass-painting project. It’s the natural world, in particular trees, that forms the main subject matter of Neil’s work, much of it inspired by years spent as a gardener. “Though everything I create starts with an observational drawing, my paintings are composed from different drawings from several locations to create a vision of the world as I would like it to be – much like a gardener creates a garden,” he explains. 22 Derby Road, Cambridge CB1 7DU neilwarmsley.com
7 Alison Hullyer Milton-based professional printmaker Alison Hullyer is celebrating her 30th consecutive open studio this year! Her prints and oil paintings are inspired by plants, birds, landscapes and the coast. For Cambridge Open Studios 2025, she will be showing a selection of work from her archives, as well as new prints, cards, coasters and tea towels – some of which you might even have seen in local National Trust shops. Visitors to Alison’s purpose-built garden studio will be able to see the etching press, art materials and sketchbooks used to create her hand-pulled prints, which are available both framed and unframed. She will also be on hand to explain her various printmaking techniques, such as drypoint and collagraphy. Smallstone, Hall End, Milton CB24 6AQ hullyer.co.uk
9 Andrew Luetchford New to the Cambridge Open Studios line-up for 2025, at artist Andrew Luetchford’s studio you’ll find paintings, drawings and prints of work spanning the last 20 years. Using mostly oil paints and monotype printmaking techniques, Andrew finds his processes and materials often lead to other possibilities and styles, allowing room for spontaneity and an intuitive approach to making an image. “Much of my work possesses a kind of ambiguity, although my ideas are generally inspired by the physical world (and particularly the human form), music and the past,” he explains. Everyone is welcome at the studio over all four weekends in July, to enjoy a wide range of artwork or simply take a few moments of quiet in the garden. 42 Laxton Way, Cambridge CB4 1FN
