Artist questionnaire

As well as the details you've given on your profile page, it's useful for us to have a bank of material about artists to use for publicity about Worcestershire Open Studios both in the press and on social media.

Please fill in the questions below, as fully as you can so that readers can learn more about you as an artist. Write in the first person to make it more personal and engaging. Answer as many or as few questions as you want. We reserve the right to edit answers for brevity and clarity.

We can't guarantee individual press exposure but we'll also use these questions as the basis for a blog post about you and your art, which will be added to the WOS blog. These posts are highlighted as 'featured artist' articles on the website front page.
