DOWN TO DULWICH

Join the quiet and leafy south London village’s art trail to discover establishe­d and emerging names

-

Dulwich Picture Gallery is opening an exhibition of the illustrato­r, graphic designer and printmaker Edward Bawden. Bawden’s work ranges from packaging for Twinings tea to humorous depictions of British holidaymak­ers and prints of London landmarks ( The Albert Bridge, above), which were perceived as avant-garde in their 20th-century heyday (23 May–9 September; dulwichpic­turegaller­y.org.uk).

Also kicking off is Artists’ Open House, part of the multidisci­plinary Dulwich Festival, during which more than 200 local artisans invite visitors into their studios. We’ll be making a beeline for the potters: in particular, the Tulse Hill workshop where Carys Davies creates her moody, natureinsp­ired porcelain (‘Thorn’ pots, below) and the Peckham studio of From The Land – where textile designer Kezia Regan and architect Alastair Mitchell collaborat­e on concrete vessels (12–20 May; dulwichfes­tival.co.uk).
