Labor Day Studio Tour 2024



You are cordially invited to join me at my home studio for the upcoming Labor Day weekend (August 31-September 2) for the 3rd annual Labor Day Weekend Artist's Studio Tour. This year's Tour features 8 locations and more than 30 artists.


The tour is Saturday August 31 and Sunday, September 1 from 10-4, with a shorter visit/pickup time on Monday, September 2 from 10-12.  Tickets are $10 and one ticket gets you into all 8 locations and all 3 days, meaning you can pack all the visits into one day, or take your time visiting all the studios throughout the weekend.


Tickets can be purchased at any of the studios or ahead of time by any of the artists, so let me know if you'd like a ticket, or just show up and we'll have one for you. Tickets come with a full color booklet that includes pictures and statements from the artists and a map of the locations on the tour. 


This year, just like last year, I am hosting the Yakima Valley College studio art faculty at my house. I will have pottery and ceramic sculptures on display and for sale, as well as work by Monika Lemmon, Chris Otten, and Kayo Nakamura.


I also expect that my daughter will have handmade jewelry created by her and friends under the name "Dezignosaur." 


I've spent a lot of my summer in the studio working, as well as a lot of time before and after last year's Tour getting ready for the Dust Faculty Exhibition at Larson Gallery, so I personally plan to have both new and older work. I don't know if I'll be able to finish all of my summer projects, so some might be works in progress during the Tour.


I hope to have a batch of functional thrown pieces fired in time for the tour. I've also been working on large scale sculpture that probably won't all be done.


I hope you will come visit us during the show, whether to pick up some pieces for yourself or as gifts, or just to chat with us and see my studio and our work. 


Please let me know if you have questions about the tour or would like to buy tickets. You can also check out the Artebella Gallery website for more information, pictures, and the locations of all the studios on the tour.
