Devon Open Studios
Flameworks Open Studios – Meet the Makers and shop Local
Step beyond the ordinary and into Flameworks, a thriving creative hub nestled next to Stonehouse creek. Home to a diverse community of professional artists and craftspeople, our studios are filled with the scent of sawdust, the glow of molten glass, and the rhythmic clang of hammers on metal. This is where ideas are forged, traditions reimagined, and materials are transformed into objects of wonder.
During Open Studios, you’re invited behind the scenes to meet the makers, explore their workspaces, discover and purchase the incredible variety of art and craft being created right here in Devonport.
From lampworked glass by Tobias Davies to the coastal inspired cast-glass chain jewellery of Amy Whittingham, you'll find light, transparency, and storytelling fused in glass. Glenn Carter, a master stained-glass artist, brings centuries-old techniques to life with painterly precision.
For lovers of clay, there’s much to explore—from Christina Peters’ dynamic raku-fired ceramics, to Belinda Reed’s social commentary with sgraffito textures, and Toni Fairhead’s subversively witty profanity porcelain.
Metalwork is alive and sparking at Flameworks: Luke Axworthy shapes raw steel in the forge, while Peter Reeves and Emma Gooding both craft exquisite jewellery in silver and gold, blending traditional skills with contemporary design.
Alice Wood repurposes rugged materials into striking reclaimed canvas and leather bags, while Emma Bullivant combines wood and forged steel into bold, sculptural furniture pieces.
You’ll also find Becky Crawford’s playful mixed media works, Angie Wickenden’s elegant basketry and hand-built ceramics, and striking photographic works by Christ Parkes, capturing the world through a unique and thoughtful lens.
Whether you're curious to see how things are made, looking for a unique piece to take home, or simply eager to be inspired—Flameworks Open Studios offers a rare glimpse into the working lives of some of Plymouth’s most talented makers.
Come for the craft. Stay for the spark.
