HIDDEN GEMS – OPEN ARTIST STUDIOS – 1 and 2 April, 2023
Once again, the public will have an opportunity to “meet the makers” as the Hidden Gems group of artists open their studios over the weekend of 1 & 2 April, 2023. The 6 studios are within 10 minutes of each other which makes it an enjoyable mini-arts trail. The Haddon studios of - Vida Pearson/Fred Ross, Stella Clarke and Kate Wise are within walking distance of each other and then it’s a short 10 minutes drive to Steve Drew Pottery in Nintingbool and then over the highway to Red Echidna Studios at Smythes Creek and another 5 minutes to Raintree Art in Cambrian Hill. Their studios open on the first weekend of each month as an opportunity to connect with art lovers and show their skills in their chosen mediums. For those looking to buy an original gift this is a great opportunity – something local, handmade and unique. They all work in different mediums and offer a diverse range of subject matter and style. The studios offer printmaking, artisan furniture, painting, sculpture, ceramics and Aboriginal art. A chance to explore your local region with the added bonus of some really interesting artists to chat to and some wonderful artwork to view. They look forward to welcoming visitors from 10am to 4pm.
