Participating studio artists in the Common Threads Studio Tour.  September 25-26, 2010.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost four weeks since Culture Days. The artists and studio visitors had a terrific and energized weekend discussing fibre art and seeing fibre technique demonstrations. It was a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a nation wide arts and culture event and we were thrilled to be a part of it.  Visitors to our studios saw demonstrations, art quilts, rug hooking, a graphic novel in progress, digital photography, natural dyes, and knitting.

Studio guest artist Jeannette Sirois talks with visitors about the computer technology she uses to create her graphic novel.

Studio guest artist Janet Armstrong demonstrates how to machine stitch men’s ties to create a sunset.

Studio visitors talk with the artists.

Comments from our guest books:

“Beautiful! I’m so glad my friend led me here!”

“Thank you for sharing your work. It’s so clever and so interesting!”

“Congratulations for a beautiful display and expression of fine art.”

“Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing it.”

Thank you to our guest artists and the visitors who joined us during the studio tour.  Please feel free to drop by our studios anytime (call ahead).  We’re already looking forward to seeing you next year at Culture Days – September 30 – October 2, 2011!
