| Tour Information The Haywood County Arts Council presents the Haywood Open Studios Tour and Exhibit The 2008 Haywood Open Studios Tour and Open Studios Exhibit presented by the Haywood County is well under way. This tour allows artists to open their working studios to the public. The public can visit with the artist in his/her working environment and see the creative process first hand. See the artists’ work represented in the Open Studios Exhibit at the Haywood County Arts Council’s Gallery 86 at 86 North Main Street in Downtown Waynesville, North Carolina. The third annual Haywood Open Studios Tour is Saturday, October 4, 10-5 p.m. and Sunday, October 5, 12-5 p.m. Tour is free and open to the public. Maps ill be available at Gallery 86, Haywood County Public Libraries, Visitor Centers, Chambers of Commerce, and online at www. haywoodarts.org The tour is a unique opportunity to take a peek into the work environments of producing crafts people and artists. How exactly did that artist achieve such a realistic landscape or capture that particular quality of light? How nice to see what a handloom looks like, which tools the woodworker needed to shape the legs for that table, how the potter formed that odd-shaped pot, or get an inkling of what a silversmith has to do to turn a flat sheet of silver into a pendant or brooch. The tour has been organized into three Loop Tours: the Eastern Loop includes Clyde, Canton and Cruso; the Downtown and Western Loop takes you from Downtown Waynesville out to the Balsam area; the Northern Loop encompasses Maggie Valley, Jonathan Valley, Iron Duff and Lake Junaluska. |
