Tour History
The
studio tour was founded in 1994
to enhance the community's awareness of the artisans living
and working in their neighborhoods. Visiting the studios offers
a unique opportunity
to understand the working process of each artist, permitting
a deeper understanding of the products created. We are delighted
to offer a hospitable and educational
environment where you may see our new work in a studio setting.
Visit all the studios or only a few...and please call for directions
if you have
any problems finding us. We look forward to seeing you. |
Inspired Designs Through Timeless Techniques
As Artisans, we create high quality handcrafted items to adorn and
beautify your life. Our inspirations arise from many sources: natural
fauna and flora, human interaction, life experience, architecture,
history, herstory, form and function. Generations of artisans
have honed their individual skills and crafts and passed to us their
methods as well as their innovations. We present to you varied
combinations of these wonderful traditions and innovations through our own modern interpretations. Our designs emerge where inspiration and timeless techniques intersect.
