This is a wonderful chance to experience the normally private world of artists and makers. Over three weekends, you can peek 'behind the scenes' right into the heart of creativity - the artist's studio.

Seeing an artist in action, chatting over a cup tea amongst the paints, clay and saw-dust gives you a real insight into the artistic process. And with over 75 to choose from there's definitely something for everyone.

We've got photographers, painters, potters, sculptors, basket-makers, wood-carvers, illustrators and people who work with glass, textiles, metal, jewellery, new-media and printing. Buy original works of art direct from the artists, at prices to please everyone.

We think north Wales is an overlooked gem for the visual arts and crafts in Wales, with loads of artists and makers beavering away up mountain tracks and sea-side cul-de-sacs. And there are great galleries and other innovative arts projects resident here too. Helfa Gelf Art Trail is here to showcase it all to the world!

There's a huge range in styles and always a warm welcome for all at every venue - and it's all free!
