With a fine art background from Camberwell and Chelsea, and now studying at the Royal College of Art, Frankie brings energy, depth and creative spontaneity to her ceramic work.

Her studio in Ardleigh is fully equipped and always buzzing – home not just to Frankie’s own work, but to her students too. She regularly runs workshops and courses, helping adults and children alike discover the joy of working with clay.

Sarah Figlio’s studio is a place of stories, exp

Sarah Figlio’s studio is a place of stories, exploration and connection – filled with paintings, artist books, found-object sculptures and layered mixed media works that reflect a deep curiosity about how we navigate space, memory and identity. With a background in fine art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sarah has exhibited internationally for over 30 years.

Her practice includes drawing, marbling, bookmaking and working with collected materials – what she calls Unbound Books – and everything she creates carries a tactile sense of discovery. The land and light of Suffolk feed into her process, along with ideas of movement, mapping and being rooted in place.

Sarah will be opening her studio for Suffolk Open Studios on 21/22 June – a chance to explore her work and enjoy a relaxed visit in a beautiful garden setting near Kersey.

Claire Fernig – the artist behind Spinnaker Glas

Claire Fernig – the artist behind Spinnaker Glass – works from her Felixstowe studio creating stained glass, fused glass and copper foil pieces inspired by the coast, sailing and the natural world around her. From leaded windows and garden panels to delicate fused-glass jewellery, Claire’s work reflects a lifelong passion for light, texture and craftsmanship.

With over 25 years of experience, she also offers mentoring, tuition and repairs, as well as one-of-a-kind commissions for homes and gifts. Her name – Spinnaker Glass – nods to her love of the sea and the breezy, joyful spirit that carries through her work.

Claire opened her studio for the first weekend of Suffolk Open Studios – but if you missed it, you can still explore her work and get in touch via her website.

Christian Figg is a Suffolk-based painter whose wo

Christian Figg is a Suffolk-based painter whose work explores the stark, sculptural beauty of the East Anglian coast. From the empty shingle beaches of Dunwich to the industrial forms of Sizewell, his paintings are bold yet contemplative – simplified in colour and form, and deeply rooted in solitude, memory and place.

Christian’s oil paintings respond to the tension between the man-made and natural world – capturing sharp contrasts, shifting light, and the haunting presence of landscapes shaped by sea, weather and time. His work is both abstracted and instantly recognisable – echoing a personal connection to the coast that has shaped him as both artist and individual.

Although Christian is not opening his studio for Suffolk Open Studios this year, his powerful paintings can be explored online and through future exhibitions.

Louise Ferrier is a stained glass artist creating

Louise Ferrier is a stained glass artist creating bespoke windows, decorative panels and unique glass gifts inspired by light, pattern and the natural world. Working from her garden studio, Louise uses both traditional lead and copper-foil methods, as well as contemporary techniques like appliqué and fused glass. Her designs bring colour, movement and a timeless quality to any space.

Although she isn’t opening her studio for Suffolk Open Studios this June, she may be part of an upcoming exhibition – more details will be shared soon. In the meantime, you can explore her work online and discover her classes, commissions and restoration services.

Simon Farr’s work blends fine art, illustration

Simon Farr’s work blends fine art, illustration and cartooning – often with a darkly playful or absurd twist. With a background in political cartooning and narrative illustration, Simon’s drawings and mixed media pieces explore strange characters, curious moments and the stories that lie just beneath the surface. He’s an inveterate sketchbook-filler and occasional life drawing tutor, with work that is as expressive as it is unexpected.

During the first two weekends of Suffolk Open Studios, Simon welcomed visitors into his creative world – a studio filled with wit, imagination and plenty of ink. If you missed it, don’t worry – you can still explore his work and follow for new projects, exhibitions and sketchbook gems.
