Discover Hidden Studios at Amners Farmn

Two of Berkshire’s established artists, Tom Cartmill and Liz Pearson of Love Heartwood, are inviting visitors behind the scenes this winter for a special Open Studios event at Amners Farm, just outside Reading.

From 20–22 November 2026 (11am–5pm daily), visitors will have the opportunity to step inside the artists’ working studios, explore their creative spaces and discover a diverse range of original artworks, from abstract mixed-media paintings and drawings to beautifully handcrafted wooden pieces and contemporary wood sculpture.

Tom Cartmill creates intricate abstract drawings and paintings that explore the ways time and process impact memory and perception.

Celebrated for their rich textures and subtle, meditative quality, his works have attracted collectors from around the world and regularly feature in exhibitions throughout the UK and internationally.

Liz Pearson, founder of Love Heartwood, specialises in sustainable woodturning, creating beautiful, functional pieces alongside more expressive sculptural work.

Her workshop at Amners Farm is a welcoming space where she shares her passion for woodturning through hands-on courses and workshops.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to see woodturning demonstrations on the Friday and Sunday.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors to Amners Farm,” says Tom Cartmill. “It’s always rewarding to connect with people who are curious about the creative process.”

The event is free to attend, with on-site parking available.
