Jackie Robers is holding an ‘Open Studio’ this weekend where visitors will be able to have a look around her private workshop and Studio Gallery in Xewkija during the ‘Fiori D’Argenta’ celebration of culture and traditions.

Originally from the UK Jackie creates art in metal from a workshop in Xewkija. Before moving to Gozo in 2001 Jackie learned artistic metalwork with the ‘Arcangels’ group at Edinburgh’s Telford College, pursuing her passion for metal pursuing her passion for metal after a professional career in environmental education, public and media relations, international community development and arts administration.

Last year Jackie held a solo exhibition, ‘The Nature of Metal,’ at the award-winning Dawyck Botanic Garden in the Scottish Borders. Dawyck is a historic arboretum and specialist garden of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Jackie said that she is looking forward to welcoming visitors, discussing her work and metalwork techniques and showing some of her designs.

This is the first time that Jackie has invited the public ‘behind the closed doors’ of her new private workshop and studio since she re-located from Ghasri last year and said, “”I am looking forward to seeing old and new customers at this superb location in Xewkija not far from the church square.”

So take a break from the celebrations in the square and pop in to meet the maker of original contemporary art and wearable jewellery hand-crafted from metal.

The studio can be found at Casa d’Amore, Triq it-Torri Gorgun, Xewkija. Go to right of the church and take second left at the corner. It will be open Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th of June from 10.00am-3-00pm.
