Not exactly sure how to take part in Uxbridge Studio Tour weekend...Here's how it works and a little bit about who we are. Let's get started...
Since 2011 jewellery designer and creator Jeannine Rosenberg has been part of the Uxbridge Studio Tour. The 2018 tour was a heart wrenching and challenging tour for Jeannine, and 2019 marks a new chapter in her creative career. Here's a lovely piece about Jeannine's journey over the past 18 months.
The diversity of locations can make finding each studio a little challenging. Which is why we proudly feature our unique Artist's Hand logo on every sign, and provide a selection of google maps to help you find your way.
If your idea of the perfect way to spend a little time this tour weekend is with a wee dram of scotch, The Hobby Horse Arms is the place to go!
Mary Philpott is a full time craft artist whose practice encompasses both sculptural ceramics and bespoke tile design. This year Mary can be found at Studio 10 with host artist Nancy Newman. Here's a little more about Mary Philpott and her work.
Uxbridge is a beautiful place to live! This historic town has a fabulous mix of traditional small town life and a cool urban vibe. If you spot a house you want to know more about just give our sponsor Karin Welsh a call, she'll be happy to help!
The 34th Annual Uxbridge Studio tour is less than ONE WEEK away! I'm a jewellery artist and it's been a productive summer. As I contemplate the upcoming weekend, I'm struck by the impact the tour has had on my life.
Uxbridge purse designer and creator Nancy Newman's interest in textiles "started with the Feminist Movement in the 70's, where attention was being paid to what was disparagingly called 'Women's Work', which was anything to do with textiles". We are delighted to feature Nancy along with her talented guest artist Mary Philpott at Studio 10 of the 2019 tour.
People always ask how did you become a blacksmith. Did you apprentice for someone? Was your father in the trade? Have you seen “Forged In Fire”? As far as I can find no one related to me was involved with forging or metalwork in any way. Although it feels at times like there was some prior knowledge somehow.
Immerse yourself in our vibrant art community.
