tour maps and more
The studio environments encompass all that Uxbridge has to offer with some located on large country properties and others in smaller spaces in town. You will traverse our hills and vales from Sunderland and beyond in the north to Claremont in the south with Uxbridge right in the heart of them all. Pack a picnic or enjoy a feast at one of the many local restaurants, but whatever you do plan to make a day, or two, of it.
A must see is the work of the amazingly creativeViktor Tinkl who's home is surrounded by bizarre concrete aqua ducts, gargoyles, figurines and whimsical whatnot's. This stop alone could keep you and your children enthralled, entertained and amused for a good part of a day. Here you will find works made from recycled material that Victor collects and turns into such things as tin soldiers and dancing card sharks (below)
