Pop in, have a nosy, see where it all goes on and have a chat with the artists themselves.

If you’re interested in a printmaking or drawing workshop, Lesley will be on hand to explain a bit more and you may be able to book yourself a place while you’re there.

Beat the rush…

The PICA Studios artists will be holding a Preview Evening at PICA Studios, 7a Grape Lane, York, YO1 7HU on Friday 12th April at 6pm -9pm.

You’ll find Lesley and other selected PICA artists browsing around and happy to chat at the Preview. Prosecco and soft drinks on offer. Indoor studios and outdoor courtyard. It’s a public event, so do feel free to call in.

Here is a little taster of two new pieces of Lesley’s below. All new work will be available to see and buy in person at York Open Studios. Brand new work has not yet been added to her website, so get in early and buy directly from Lesley.
