As professional artists and craftspeople,
we often work in solitude. During these two
weekends, we open our studios to share not only
our finished work, but also the process behind it,
through discussion, demonstration and display.
Dedicated to the belief that a piece of art is best
understood when the viewer can meet its creator,
we are delighted to open our doors to the public.
