Mill prepares to open its doors to the public

The University of Derby’s Banks Mill Studios is preparing to open its doors to the public later this month to showcase some of the best artists, designers and makers in the city.

Taking place from Friday 24 November to Sunday 26 November, the Open Studios event will give people the chance to meet more than 50 artists, designers, makers and creative services businesses.

As well as seeing first-hand how the artists create their unique designs and handmade products visitors can also buy original work directly from the artists themselves.

The mills’ creative service businesses will also be on hand to discuss how they can work with you, from digital and video promotion to photography services.

Entry is free. There will be a kids art trail and visitors will also have the chance to enter a free prize draw.

The Open Studios event will take place from 4pm to 7pm on Friday 24 November, and from 10am to 5pm on Saturday 25 November and Sunday 26 November.
