April 2008 - Background for Art in Action (July)

Art in Action is held in the beautiful grounds of Waterperry House, near Oxford. It makes a great day out for the whole family. Highly recommended!

This year more than 400 artists, designer-makers, musicians, performers and teachers will come together over four days to present a magnificent spectacle of the arts.

Watch artists demonstrate Calligraphy, Ceramics, Drawing, Glass, Illustration, Jewellery, Metalwork, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Silversmithing, Textiles and Woodwork. Many of the demonstrating artists are eminent in their field.

Artists come to Art in Action, set-up their studios in marquees, and work. Visitors can get close, observe, ask questions and gain an insight into the magical creative process.

There are Practical Classes for adults and children with over 3000 places and 20 subjects to choose from, most cost as little as £5 per session.

Music, dance, lectures and wine tasting ensure there is something for everyone at Art in Action. Visitors can wander in the gardens of Waterperry House and picnic on the spacious lawns.

One day is not long enough to see everything at Art in Action, so why not plan your visit in advance. For more information and on-line booking go to www.artinaction.org.uk
