The artists on this year's Washington County Open Studios Tour create in many different media and many
different kinds of studios.
Some artists have studios in their kitchens. Patti Issacs works in her upstairs room studio
with acrylics and handmade papers but uses her kitchen to create with silk
paints.
Some have a separate studio structure on their property. Jewel Starz has a newly built studio on her
farm surrounded by dogs, llamas and chickens.
Some create art in their dens. Evelyn Fritz has two areas to
work in her home. She works in her
encaustic corner and a space that overlooks her patio.
Some make their work in their basements. Linda Gerrard
creates her fused glass pieces in her daylight basement.
Other artists create in the garage. Susan Gallacher-Turner throws porcelain on a
wheel in garage, right next to the car.
Some artists have the world as their studios. Chris Goldthrope takes his photography
outdoors and his favorite place is the ocean.
But during the Washington County Open Studios tour, he’ll be showing how
he edits his work in his in-home studio.
Inside or outside, artists find many creative ways to
create. And they’ll show how they do it
and where October 17 and 18 from 11am to 5pm.
