My studio is one of eight artists’ studios & cafe in The Hearth Arts Centre. The Hearth is in the village of Horsley, ten minutes west of  Newcastle-upon Tyne, off the A69. The studios are next to and behind the  village church, in the converted 17th century manse and 19th century  schoolrooms.

The Hearth is directly opposite The Lion and Lamb in Horsley village. The main entrance is at the rear from the car park - go through the reception and church hall to get to my studio. You can also access the studio from the road when the hall is in use: go up the gravel path to the right of the church and follow the signs.
