Totnes and Dartington open studios 2025

23rd -26th May 2025

During this special weekend, you will have the chance to explore the work of various artists in their homes, galleries, cafes, and shops throughout Totnes and Dartington.

Pam Neaves, the owner of the Cider Press Gallery, will be demonstrating her collaging techniques at the gallery, where her artwork will also be on display. Pam studied graphic design and illustration and was quickly recruited for her first job as a graphic designer. After three years of working at agencies in Leeds and Staffordshire, she decided to follow her dream of running her own business and established a design and marketing company.

Since becoming a mother and moving to Devon, Pam has returned to her artistic roots, creating with clay and, more recently, experimenting with mixed media painting inspired by her travels both near and far.

Pam’s latest collection features stunning paintings that capture the essence of Dartmoor’s rugged beauty and the serene landscapes of Santorini, Greece. Each piece tells a story, reflecting her experiences and the natural wonders she has encountered, inviting viewers to share in her artistic vision and journey.
