You may think you have to wait a whole week for the Open Houses to open again, but this week sees a real treat in the New England House Open Studios (venue 49). This is not just one Open House venue, but lots and lots, in this multistorey workshop of artists and makers. Insiders will flock to Sukie, where seconds of their gorgeous trendy notebooks and teatowels will be on sale for knockdown prices (don’t tell your friends how much you paid for them!). There are ceramic studios (usually serving mulled wine and mince pies) where you can see the work of Angela Evans, Ken Eardley, and many others, along with units dotted about the skyscraper selling cards, gifts, children’s clothing, saucy underwear and pet accessories. Three or more floors of goodies all in the one building (I usually get the lift to the top and work down!) with spectacular views of the New England Quarter taking shape. Open this Thursday and Friday only, 12 noon until 8pm.
