19 years in, it’s still a pleasure to announce the upcoming annual Chocolate Factory N22 Open Studios. You never know exactly what you’ll get from the fantastic array of 120+ Chocolate Factory Artists, but you can be sure that there’s something to suit all tastes.

There are painters galore, naturally, some working in oil, others in acrylics or watercolours, or all three. There are sculptors, ceramists, designer-makers, textile artists, etchers, illustrators, and, of course, those imaginative types who can fit in all the brackets or none. Scheduled musical performances will take place at regular intermissions throughout the event. Something of a departure from the usual visual arts on offer, last year Liz Chi Yen Liew’s beautiful piano playing, courtesy of Stella Polaris Studios, was nothing short of lovely, and a refreshing moment of calm in what is always a bustling weekend with an extraordinary amount to see, buy, or even just experience.

In what has become an Open Studios tradition, we’ll also be presenting an exhibition of selected works in Karamel for the duration of the event and beyond, giving you the opportunity to admire your favourites while enjoying a coffee or craft beer, or sampling from the restaurant’s world inspired menu.

N22 Open Studios 2015 is on 14 and 15 November at the Chocolate Factory, Clarendon Road, Wood Green N22 6XJ. From 12noon-6pm.
