Preparations for 32nd Allegany County Artisans Tour underway By CINDY WAGNER WELLSVILLE — Allegany County artisans have been busy preparing for the 32nd annual Allegany County Artisans Tour, and with 32 artisans across the county, it’s not to be missed. On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19-20, artisans will have the opportunity to show their work, and the general public to be introduced to a myriad of different artisans working in a variety of mediums. This year, 32 artisans in 26 locations across Allegany County will offer refreshments and free raffles for art work. Most studios will display works including, but not be limited to, clay; wood; metal; fiber; jewelry; paint; glass; and paper. The talented artisans that have participated in the event include everyone from artists that are self-taught and who have won national and international acclaim to those who are masters of their creative genre.

She’ll also have potholders and the opportunity for patrons to support girl’s empowerment as well. “I make the potholders as a de-stresser,” Herdman said. “I sell them at $4 a piece and
