Make a day of it
A gentle loop, at your own pace.
Pick up the printed map near Millbank Library, then follow the marked studios through the old market lanes. Start with the ceramics along Foundry Lane, swing by the print studio on Willow Row, and finish among the painters and jewellers near the square.
The route is designed for wandering: pause for a conversation, take a break, or skip ahead to a studio that catches your eye. No ticket or set order needed.
