An open studio event with artist Peter Mears, extending beyond the studio doors into the supportive, interdisciplinary community of Dummer’s Down Farm.
The day culminates in a ticketed live performance (£10) by Grace Elizabeth Harvey and Jessica Dives, held in the Taprooms.
Both captivating, up-and-coming folk singer-songwriters in their own right, Jessica Dives and Grace Elizabeth Harvey are joining forces in a unique collaboration for a series of intimate double-headline shows.
Jessica brings her sweet accordion lines and vocals to Grace’s work, and Grace offers her cellist’s bow and voice to Jessica’s set.
Their material comes together as two halves—distinct in their own voice, yet complementary and deeply connected in emotional resonance.
