Eel Pie Island is a private island on the Thames at Twickenham. In addition to mixed dwellings and a nature reserve, the island is home to 22 artists' studios all situated in and around a working boatyard.
Twice a year the island opens up to the public and the studios open their doors to interested visitors providing a unique opportunity to see inside a real working artist’s studio, talk to the artists and purchase or commission new art works.
Eel Pie Island Artists present contemporary drawing, glass and mosaics, jewelry, painting, photography, pottery, printmaking and sculpture.
Hot and cold food is available during the event.
