This new studio art walk from the Carolina Designer Craftmen has gotten my hopes up. I am especially eager to look at the studio of Lillian Jones (that's her enameled pendant on a hand made chain pictured above.) She does such precise, exacting work I imagine her studio will be very finely organized, but then I could be wrong. A girl can dream.
The Carolina Designer Craftsmen Studio Art Walk is Saturday, May 2nd, 10-5. Yes, that's the same day as the Tour De Coup.
For more about the tour visit carolinadesignercraftsmen.com or stop by Ornamentea and pick up a map. For more about Lillian's work visit enamelist.com or see her classes at Ornamentea.
(I do want to add that a sort-of famous artist friend of mine who shall remain anonymous has a front room in her studio that is basically all the public sees. It's set up for a photo shoot just about every day and she meets clients there, too. It looks very nice with just enough mess to seem real but is actually a set, a faux studio. There is a flea market cute desk and old chair, an old cubby box from a torn down hotel with supplies in each cubby, vintage glass jars of glitters, buttons and ribbons. The REAL mess and work area is in the back, with inexpensive folding tables, rolling office chairs with pads from Staples and unattractive-but-needed items like shipping boxes, tape dispensers and glue guns. Shh...it's where the magic happens!)
I love that there is a real and faux studio that the artist works with. That is cool!
ReplyDeleteThe work of Lillian is fabulous! So pretty
I am posting the "button" to my blogs, but not sure how to make it a working button to share so others can embed it to their own blogs.
Do you know how?
