Jeremiah Backhaus #4 on the 2020 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 9-11th

Jeremiah Backhaus is a blacksmith. He utilizes old tools, hot fires and split second decisions to make pieces for the home, the shop, and even the campsite! The process is the same as the ancient masters, but the application is as modern as imagination.

The tour artists met last night in the rain to pick up their tour flags, road signs and arrows.  In spite of the rain, we were all smiling behind our masks and sharing tips on how to make this year's tour safe, fun and as friendly as it always has been.   We were all hoping that the weather for tour week-end is NOT what is was last night!!  We invite you all to visit our website and view the short artists' videos to get a snapshot of what is store for you during the tour.  We hope it will help you plan your tour.  Click on this link and then scroll to the Art Studio Tour and click again.     http://www.cedarburgartistsguild.com
