Inquiries:\u00a0 ja****<\/span>@************<\/span>ns.com<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 978-283-8333 or in**<\/span>@*************<\/span>ns.com<\/span><\/p>\n

Grab your cameras, maps, bikes, and picnic baskets \u2013 and get ready for the 33rd Annual Spring Cape Ann Artisans Tour!<\/p>\n

\"BW<\/a>Early risers beware!\u00a0 At dawn on May 21st an important tradition (literally) unfolds. Magically, dozens of fuchsia colored banners and hang-made signs pop up all over Gloucester and Rockport directing you into corners of Cape Ann that you didn\u2019t even know existed!\u00a0 Indeed, it\u2019s one of the most fun weekends of the year!\u00a0\u00a0 A dreamy, self-guided, visit to 17 open Artisan studios.\u00a0 The Cape Ann Artisans Tour is a sure sign that Spring has arrived -even moreso this year as the tour has been moved back to earlier in May for the first time in many years.\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s time to take a serious look at some new artwork and dress up your home and wardrobe for the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n

\"BartStuyGloucesterFishingFrog\"<\/a>What really happens behind the scenes long before you step inside an \u201cArtisan\u201d Studio?\u00a0 Ask the pied piper of pottery, Cynthia Curtis who has trained 1200 students in pottery-making over 22 years. Cynthia chimes in, \u201cThis year I will order about 15,000 lbs. of clay and after thousands of pots are finished, 100% of the excess clay is recycled to make more pots. I hope Cape Ann doesn\u2019t sink!\u201d\u00a0 Pam Stratton navigates \u201cAbout 1500 pounds of Smalti and at least 500 lbs of stone,\u201d \u00a0and Judy Wright \u201chauls in 150 pounds of stained class in large sheets for her mosaics!\u201d\u00a0 Anni Melancon will use about a ton of clay, recycling 100% of her clay scrap. \u00a0\u00a0Jacqueline Ganim-DeFalco carefully empties 30 plus delicatessen pickle jars of sea glass to turn puzzles into jewelry and hair accessories- Beth Williams makes thousands of glowing flame-worked glass beads as the starting point for her art glass jewelry.<\/p>\n

Many Artisans have added new dimensions to their work as reported in their recent \u201cFrom the Studio\u201d blogs.\u00a0\"glass<\/a><\/p>\n

Judy Wright has embraced two different projects \u2013 creating a series of small paintings of local birds and designing birdbaths with glass mosaic design on granite.\u00a0 Camilla MacFadyen has \u201crediscovered hand embroidery\u201d and has been embellishing her silk organza dresses with flowers, ferns, salamanders and dragonflies.\u00a0 Camilla elaborates in her blog on her collagraph series called \u201cLook up.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Pam Stratton has been experimenting with Encaustic and cold wax techniques which she plans to integrate into her mosaic work. \u00a0She describes encaustic painting as \u201can ancient technique that uses hot beeswax with pigments. The surface can be richly textured or smooth with lustrous depth\u201d.<\/p>\n

Many artisans view the winter as a time to take classes, teach classes, or just shift their point of view so they can return to their studios in the Spring with renewed energy!\u00a0\u00a0 Rob Diebboll explored the beaches on the west coast of Florida and reported back \u201cAlong the flat, granite-less coastline, the light is different, influenced by latitude, a west-facing beach, warm spring days mixed with stormy, fall-like ones.\u201d\u00a0 Jackie found inspiring pottery shards along the Amalfi Coast, Beth kicked off the year in Thailand at a world renowned bead factory and Cynthia studied with a renowned potter in North Carolina.\u00a0 Each artisan, in their own way, honed their craft and enhanced their perspective.<\/p>\n

The Artisans not only make beautiful work, they also collaborate on all the other tasks needed to create and promote the tour.\u00a0 Behind the scenes, Beth Williams directs the brochure design while Sara Wright heads up the distribution of the 12,000 brochures throughout the north shore.\u00a0 Artisans work together on all aspects of the tour \u2013 from pooling of money, calling on sponsors, marketing, web design, sign-making, bookkeeping \u2013 everyone has a job and decisions are made as a group. \u00a0In some cases, it\u2019s a family affair \u2013 with spouses co-creating artwork or just helping hang signs! \u00a0In short, it\u2019s a major production.\u00a0 \u00a0Friends, neighbors, visitors to Cape Ann are all welcome to drop in!<\/p>\n

\"2016<\/a>The Tour will include 17 studios and 18 Artisans, with several artisans out on sabbatical.\u00a0\u00a0 The 2016 Artisans are:<\/p>\n
