How do they do that ?

How does the painter get just such a shade of blue? How does a potter raise up a vessel from a lump on a wheel? And how on Earth does metal get beaten into shapes like those? Have you ever asked yourself such questions when looking at someone’s artwork? Whatever the medium, artists use knowledge and techniques which, to many of us, seem almost magical. Saranac Lake ArtWorks, is proud to host the 6th Annual Northern Adirondack Artist at Work Studio Tour September. 28, 29, & 30, 2012, to help you answer just those questions. By visiting artists in their studios, watching them create, and speaking with them about their work, you will gain insight into “how they do that”. The last weekend of September is also peak foliage season in these beautiful mountains, making it a great time to go for a drive. Artists are abundant but scattered in this area of high peaks, rushing rivers, dense forests, and winding roads. This booklet guides you in search of those creators who most pique your interest. Study the maps, read the descriptions of each artist’s work, and plan a weekend or even just an afternoon to enjoy the arts up close and personal. Many artists are clustered in the hamlets, allowing you to park and stroll through historic neighborhoods and business districts. Other studios are best reached by car – wouldn’t it be fun to get some friends together and drop in on a weaver, a potter, a painter, or a jewelry maker? While there, you might even find a piece to bring home, or to give to someone special. With over 70 participating artists, you are sure to find something right up your alley. Studio Tour Central is the Adirondack Artists’ Guild, 52 Main St., Saranac Lake. Call them at (518) 891-2615, or stop in. There, you can ask questions, pick up extra booklets, and see the member artists who will also be demonstrating. As you drive through the area, tune in to North Country Public Radio. For lodging, dining, and travel information, contact the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce at (518) 891-1990 or www.saranaclake.com. Also check out www. saranaclakeartworks/studiotour.html for more information. This booklet is designed for Studio Tour, but also serves as the year-round “Guide to Regional Artists”. Please note that most listings are for private studios, and while open to the public during the Studio Tour, they are “by appointment only” the rest of the year. Galleries and shops do have regular business hours. Note: Not all studios are open all 3 days. Check the listing carefully.

Have a great weekend!
