For the past 5 years, I have been involved in a group studio tour. We are taking a “breather” for the moment as a group. That tour was always the 2nd weekend of December. We have run into some bad weather on that weekend that has hampered our efforts.

Since we are taking a breather as a group, I decided to have my own open studio in October (to avoid the bad weather!) Joining me will be Kay Wiggins who weaves baskets. I would love to have other quality fiber people with me too and perhaps that will come in time. Saturday, October 25 is the day. From 10 am-5 pm, Kay will be demonstrating basket weaving and I will be demonstrating some type of printing. It’s what we both do best.

We will have refreshments, discounts and a couple of drawings as well as the demonstrating. Come on out and see us at Sands Studio at 104 E. Main St., downtown Norris City, IL. There are lots of other fun shops open and opening up in our little downtown too. You could at least make a morning of it, then have lunch at one of our local eateries.
