Spring Open House-Day 3-AKA-Storm Day!!
March 9, 2008 | Filed under: Uncategorized
What an amazing three days-weather-wise and jewellery-wise! The storm was in full swing yesterday and yet a few hardy souls trekked to my front door. Two sisters always meet for breakfast on the week-end and a storm wasn’t going to stop that tradition. After breakfast they stopped in. The sister who had not visited my studio before was very delighted that she was talked into this stop. So was I. Another woman had shopped for groceries and decided to stop in and do some fun stuff-i.e. try on some jewellery-which she did and it was fun!!
Thank you everyone who stopped in. It was a successful event for me and I will repeat this next year at the same time. My next confirmed event is the BEYOND THE VALLEY STUDIO TOUR- Saturday, May 31 and June 1. My studio will again be open again and this time I will have Colleen O’Reilly-Lafferty, a ceramic artist as my guest. She was here for the October 2007 Studio Tour as well. Her work is renowned for its luscious colours and fabulous shapes. She creates tiles, vases, dinnerware to mention a few things and one of my favourites is an oval flower pot/vase with a lid that serves as a frog to hold stems. It is absolutely wonderful, especially with tulips, and as soon as I saw one I had to have it. And now I do!! Check out her website and you will be amazed by her wonderful work. Currently her studio is at 328 James St. N. and is part of the Art Walk every second Friday of the month. I am very pleased that she will be here for the tour because I love to see her beautiful work but I also love to spend time with her–she is a lot of fun!! You will enjoy meeting her if you haven’t met before.
