allowed visitors to gain an insight into the working practices of
various Surrey artists through visiting their studios, viewing
finished work and having the chance to discuss the artist's
techniques used in their creative processes.
Maggie's studio is located at The Mayford Centre, Smart's Heath Road, Woking.
