“Like many artists I usually have more ideas than time, so I
have to narrow it down at the start by deciding what I want to weave and which
yarns to use. Then the fun begins - choosing the yarns,” says weaver, Peg
Silloway.
Glass artist,
Linda Gerrard says, “My ideas for glass designs come from the beauty of nature
that surrounds us all, our travels and my husband’s photography. Working with
glass is very different than working with paint or photography, so your
finished piece of glass art will always look quite different than your
inspiration.”
You’ll get to see the magic of creation and inspiration that turns ordinary materials into art for FREE. During the Washington County Open Studios tour, 41 artists will be opening up their studios October 17 and 18 from 11am to 5 pm right in your own neighborhood.
“As a primarily nature-inspired artist, the ease of stepping
out your door and finding farmlands, mountains, forests, beaches, and wildlife
that one has living in Washington County is an important muse for my work. I
also require at least one cup of tea while making art, especially in the
morning (which is the best time to work),” says Emma Weber.
There's so much to see! And all for FREE! So make your calendar for October 17 & 18th from 11 am to 5 pm for the Washington County Open Studios tour. For more info on artists and tour map go online at www.washcoart.org
