First visit to Banksmill Open Studios, Owned and run by the University of Derby, Banks Mill offers great studios for new and early stage creative businesses. Coupled with comprehensive business support, mentoring and promotional opportunities. Really good studio spaces with a broad range of artists working there. Great for students to see what you can do after graduating - from fine art, glassware, jewellery and ceramics to photography, graphic and web design, weaving, fashion, textiles and accessories.
The studio also runs really interesting workshops:

really liked the work by Marketa Lukasova:
This is me Marketa, a Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator engrossed in the world of design. I have a passion for print work, especially typography, screen printing and the print process. I incorporate all these elements into my work whilst mixing in my illustrative style.
The current thematic focus of my work is centered on experimenting with traditional materials and methods. I am investigating this through drawing and see my work developing further into prints. I am especially keen on researching a eco-friendly print.
I make art that listens and tells stories. I see my prints as a form of storytelling inspired by life and dreams.
