"Cambridge Open Studios exists for the purposes of promoting the making of original works of art and craft and to provide an opportunity for the public to become involved in the arts by meeting artists in their studios, seeing their work and how it is produced."
COS members' studios are open during four weekends in July, but by looking at these blogs you can visit these artist's studios 24/7 . . .

Thanks for pointing out these two blogs - I am going to take a tour of both.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw, Cambridge Open Studios, I thought there were new tours planned. I'd love to be there some July to have a real-life look at the different studios.
Celia, those are amazing works of art. Such incredible detail and I can only imagine how time consuming! I'll check both out. (my first post about my labyrinth is up and I linked back to you).
