Open Studios From a Visitor's Perspective

I am looking forward to hearing from the artists of POS what Perthshire Open Studios has done for you and I do have some stories now from some of our members and will be publishing them over the weeks . . . but for today let's have a look at it from a client perspective . . .

Jenny of Rose Cottage visited some of the studios during Perthshire Open Studio last year  and found it very worthwhile  . . . 'The Open Studios are always a great experience for visitors to Perthshire' said Jenny 'an opportunity to meet so many very interesting people, and to see such a vast array of truly talented work' . . . Jenny went onto say that she bought some lovely examples of said work from two of the local artists, but was especially delighted when she visited Claire Robertson of Barony Crafts in St Davids Madderty. Claire of Barony Crafts created Rose Cottage's own personalised toiletries for the exclusive use of Rose Cottage's guests . . . which has been a big hit - always good to make guests feel that extra bit special and what better than toiletries made especially for the place you are staying in . . . gets my vote.


So thank you to Jenny for coming forward with her experiences of POS last year and so for those of you wondering where to put your allocation of brochures this year don't forget the accommodation providers  . . . for the benefit of owners themselves as in the case of Jenny and of course to encourage their guests to visit your studios . . .

Here are some pictures of the gorgeous Rose Cottage
