Open Studio at Warksburn Old Church – Weds 26 November
We will be hosting a special Open Studio event showcasing ceramics by Anne James, who is also the owner and interior designer of Warksburn Old Church, alongside pieces by other North East artists whose works are on display at this unique property. This event is a one-off opportunity to see the stunning interiors of the world’s only Passivhaus-certified church conversion whilst also browsing a carefully curated collection of North East art.






Work on show will include linocuts by Kate Miller, watercolours by Charlotte Thompson, photography by Jim Kearney, stained glass art by Coral Blaimire, as well as ceramics by Anne James herself. All works on display in the first floor gallery area, and in a ‘one-day-only’ display in the spectacular main living area, will be available for purchase.




If you’d like to see the artworks in person, and also experience the stunning interiors of this unique property, you’re welcome to the Anne James Ceramics Open Gallery event on Wednesday November 26 2025, from 10 am to 8 pm.
You’ll find Warksburn Old Church at the South end of Wark on Tyne (NE48 3LS). Car parking is available.
No booking is required and the event is free of charge.
We look forward to welcoming you the event.
