RESIDENTS can get a rare peek inside an art studio hidden in a corner of Bicester when it throws open its doors for Artweeks.

Figures, faces, animals, birds and all manner of strange objects adorn the garden and workshop of the George Muller Studio, at the Old Vicarage, Church Street.

About 20 artists are exhibiting more than 100 sculptures made of glass, wood, stone, metal and ceramic.

It will be the first time in two years the Bicester Sculpture Group, which started in 1986, has opened its doors to the public.

Amateur artists travel from as far as Maidenhead, Cheltenham, and Aylesbury to work at the studio.

Member Mick Waterhouse said: “It’s a nice place to visit and there will always be some of the artists there to talk to. It is a lovely quiet space in the middle of Bicester.”

The exhibition opens on Saturday and runs until Sunday, May 30.
