“I
share my studio with my mother and fellow artist Peg Falconer. It is also home
to dog bed for our lab Sally, and you can often find little prints across the
paper from cat Thomas. (Visitors may enjoy a waggy hello from Sally, but
unlikely to see any signs of the cat.),” says Emma Weber.

artists make art in your neighborhood during Washington County Open Studios
Tour, October 17 and 18 from 11 am to 5 pm. Over 40 artists will be opening
their studio doors for you. And it’s
FREE.
Linda
Gerrard, glass artist describes her studio, “Both my studio and display area
are in my daylight basement. This allows
me to spend time in my studio any time the desire to create hits me.”
“I'm fortunate to have a large room with lots of windows and
French doors that open on to the deck outside. It is full of yarns, looms, and
all the things that help inspire me. Some might call it cluttered; I call it
having my favorite things around. There are yarns of all sorts and colors, of
course, but art glass, quilts, framed reverse applique fabric pieces, stained
glass, music, and sometimes one or two cats depending on where they have chosen
to sleep,” says weaver, Peg Silloway.
Inside or
outside, upstairs or down, 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. Artist studios to visit in Beaverton are:
Peg Falconer, book arts; Linda Gerrard, fused glass; Terry Grant, fiber; Peg
Sillowary, weaving; Emma Weber, photography.
