Muskoka Autumn Studio Tour--First Weekend


The first weekend of the Muskoka Autumn Studio Tour was a real success.  The fall colours, reds, oranges and golds, are coming into their full glory.  The visitors to our studio loved travelling along the roads and by the lakes in the Limberlost area, to see art where it is made, in its natural setting.


Our son Stephen came up to the cottage this weekend and helped us with the studio tour.  He has lots of enthusiasm for Brian's work and was able to answer questions about wood-turning and the different types of wood.


Brian's workshop was transformed into a studio, the woodshavings swept and the platters and bowls set up on the equipment and wood planks.  Each piece has a story--the origin of the wood or burl and how it was made--and we love to tell it.
