Help to map out YOUR FREE ART Studio Tour

You have always have the option to not follow the studios in chronological order.  Remember , this is YOUR tour, the way YOU want it.  So, instead of heading to # 6 on the map, why not go to # 7 in downtown Grafton.  The Arts Mill is housed in a  restored mill on the Milwaukee river.  Get ready to treat your body to some art !!   Ilze Heider's leather designs, Laurie Shovers jewelry and Gina Studelska's fiber art will be difficult for anyone to pass up.  Women get ready !  and Men think of the women in your lives who would adore to own one of these wearable art creations.
Now head back north out of Grafton to stop at # 6. Kandy Gibson is potter extraordinaire !  You will find her on her wheel, or carving plates, or stoking the fires for raku pots.  Her studio is tucked into the lower level of her home and faces a lovely meadow and pond.  This is definitely a hands-on place for adults and children.  And just north of Kandy is # 8. Linda Litt.  Another new medium for you. -Linda works in both photography and watercolor.  Her subject matter is as varied as her media and will be a treat for all.  After you have tucked a beautiful little watercolor into your car,  head west on Pleasant Valley Road to # 11.  Four artists with four different media have set up in this converted barn.  Try not to ogle at the barn and property and concentrate on the fantastic array of art !  Nancy Going's jewelry is always new and wearable and impossible to resist, Kerri Knapp creates acrylic landscapes depicting nature's infinite beauty , Kerry Tharp takes mosiacs to a level you have most likely never seen before, and Clarey Wamhoff paints whimsical oils and acrylics that will make you happy.  This stop is guaranteed to brighten your day.
Still have energy?  Head a bit farther west and south to # 13 .  Susan Hale's studio is nestled into a restored stone out-building. Be ready to for a sensory jolt when you enter into Susan's world of color!  Large and small oils painted  with big brush strokes and lots of pigment are her trademark. And if you are there on Friday night, she will  treat you to s'mores around the camp fire.
Now head into Cedarburg.
