Bill took part in this year’s Warwickshire Artsweek by opening his own studio exhibiting his etchings of farm animals and wildlife subjects.
The competition was organised to encourage people to visit as many of the venues as possible. To enter the prize draw vistors had to pick up an Artsweek Prize Draw Card visits to Artsweek venues and collect the Prize Draw Codes from at least four different venues. The prize draw card was also a short evaluation form that gave people the opportunity to have their say about their visits.

Brenda Boardman, Visual Arts & Crafts Business Development Officer said
