The Yellow Springs Artist Studio Tour is this coming
weekend, Sat., Oct. 20 and Sun. Oct. 21, from 10 am-6 pm both days. This is my
fifth year participating as a host, and this year I have three guest artists. We
have 27 artists at eight locations with seven guest artists who are new this year.
All three of my guests are artists whose work I admire so
much that I own art made by all of them. Instead of using the promotional photos that were provided for the brochure, website, and other print material, I'm including photos of the pieces that we have in our house.
Lisa Wolters
makes wonderful sculptural clay
vessels that incorporate her love of typography and words themselves by
pressing messages into slabs vessels that she then decorates with oxides,
vibrant underglazes and touches of clear overglaze.
Libby Rudolf paints lovely
watercolors inspired by the beauty of natural spaces around the country and she
enjoys paint plein-air. I know she has been busy painting new paintings for this weekend.
Guustie Alvarado makes amazing jewelry,
beautiful blown and fused glass creations, and bold mosaic wall hangings which
often use fused glass and oil paints or cut glass
The tour is a driving tour. Visit the Yellow
Springs Artist Studio Tour website for more information about the other
hosts and guest artists and to download a tour map. Maps can also be picked up
at the Winds Cafe, Young's Dairy, the Yellow Springs Chamber of Commerce, and
at the artists studios the days of the tour. All studios will have red balloons
and signs.
