Art Harvest Student Education Studio Tour

Liz Santone demos felt making at her studio

The Art Harvest Studio Tour is on its 20th year.  For several years some of the Tour artists host an Art Harvest Student Education Studio Tour during the week between the regular weekend public Tour.

Today Liz and I hosted students from the Yamhill Carlton area.

Making a mask

Show youth how to make something from a fluff of wool or a lump of clay is a pleasure.

Making felt 

Some Tour artists across Yamhill County are opening their studios this Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday to demonstrate or talk about the art that they do.

Those who visit Liz get an extra surprise.  They get to have a hands-on experience of making felt and taking it home with them.

Because of the nature of clay, the students get to touch the clay and watch as I have all of the fun.  There is a magic in sharing a craft skill and the excitement of creating with young hearts.
