The Harleston & Waveney Art Trail (also known as HWAT) is a diverse and lively community of professional artists who live and work in the beautiful Waveney Valley, all within reach of Harleston, a small market town on the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. The Harleston & Waveney Art Trail has taken place every summer since 2004. Each year we open our studios and workshops for two or three consecutive weekends.
Entry to all studios and workshops is free, all visitors are very welcome with no pressure to buy, and work can be purchased direct from the artists. All the studios are within ten miles of Harleston: you can tour by bike, on foot or by car (we hope the weather will be nice, and the roses out!).
The many art forms pursued by our artists include drawings, paintings, print making, sculpture, textiles, bookbinding, and ceramics.
HWAT also usually holds an additional group exhibition in the area, often in the autumn. HWAT members work can also be seen in many other local and regional galleries.
