Town hosts art trail and wants people to join in

Ashburton is hosting the art trail until Sunday

An art trail is set to open in a town in Devon and organisers hope the community will also join in.

The Ashburton Artists and Artisans studio trail will feature the work of 27 artists, including painters, ceramicists and printers.

Organisers have asked the community to participate over the weekend by displaying their own art on the trail route.

Visitors will be able to see inside different studios, including one opened in memory of pastel artist Tom Walker who died soon after signing up for the event.

The Ashburton Artists and Artisans studio trail began on Friday

Mr Walker's wife, Anita Walker, said as a family she wanted to "share this creative space and some of the work produced in it".

"It was a space where his students could be inspired and passers-by in Ashburton might wonder what magic was happening within," she said.

The art trail will take place from Friday until Sunday.
