What’s Next?

The Beyond the Valley Studio Tour is over and it was a huge success! Thank you everyone who came out to this exciting event. It is always exciting to show one’s work and have it appreciated. All the artists in our group work very hard to make this studio tour enjoyable and worth visiting. They strive to provide new and wonderful creations for you to see, admire and perhaps take home. We, as a group, were very fortunate to be featured on Morning CHCH TV, the Friday before the tour. Lori DeAngelis interviewed each artist and Nick the camera man helped to make us and our work look great. This was done at Scott Barnim’s studio and we started at 10 to 6 in the morning. Then, on Saturday the Dundas Star News came by and snapped a photo of Michelle Guitard (my guest painter) and me which appeared on this week’s front page. It is wonderful to be supported by the community. But that is not all! A CHCH TV cameraman came by on Saturday and our group was again on Channell 11-this time the news at 6.30 and 11. This was wonderful publicity for us!!
What’s next you ask? I will be at the McMaster Museum of Art, Nov. 11, 12, & 13 for the MacFair. I was there last year and enjoyed it very much. 1400 people came through in 3 days. Please check my events page for hours. Free Admission.
I have had to replenish my inventory after the studio tour. So be prepared to see new designs in silver pieces and of course new stones. A new source has provided some unusually shaped decorative silver for me to use. I will also be dabbling in other metals such as copper and brass (chains). There will be more lapis lazuli evident. I often only have 1 or 2 pieces with this stone, but I will have more as I have found some beautifully shaped natural lapis and am looking forward to working with this wonderfully blue gemstone. Mother of pearl in different shapes and tones will also be featured. Look for grey, taupe combinations along with silver accents. Should be yummy!
I have several fundraisers and home parties on my schedule. If you have an interest in hosting either, please email me. 15% of sales in product or cash go the host.
My last major event is my Christmas Open House-which is always the first week end of December. More details later.
