Tour of Sandwich Studios of Participating Sourcebook Artists
The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce has organized a “field trip” of sorts for interior designers to visit Sandwich and tour the studios of craftsmen and artists who create custom items for the home. The six crafts artists range from wood carvers and decorative painting to tile and glass, featured in the Sourcebook of Architectural and Design Elements Handcrafted on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket.
The trip will take place on Thursday, March 1st. The group will meet in the parking lot by Café Chew, in front of Studio Brush for a 1PM departure by van. They will travel to each each studio where they will tour the shop, see his or her work firsthand, and talk to the artist about their work with designers and architects. The last stop will be at Studio Brush, where after a presentation there by two artists that ends close to 5, there is an opportunity to mingle with all of them at a wine and cheese reception from 5-7.
The tour will include visits with the following artists and master craftsmen: Michael Magyar (glass), Paul White (wood), Doug Amidon (wood), Susan Davies (tile), David McDermott and Yakimi Matsumuto (glass), Doug Campbell (stone) and Cris Reverdy (decorative painter).
The cost is $30 and includes the reception. Space is limited to 14.
“The Sourcebook was created to be a resource for designers, builders and home owners to use over and over again,” said Clare O’Connor, Director of Economic Initiatives for the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. “The goal is to link those communities with the artists and craftsmen on the Cape and Islands who create beautiful, custom and most importantly, local, items for the home. This tour is a way to bring the book to life and help foster these relationships even further.”
Interior designers or interested home owners who would like to attend the tour should call Priscilla Wrenn at the Cape Cod Chamber at 508-362-3225 ext. 532 to register, or email clare@capecodchamber.org
To see a preview of the tour, stop by Studio Brush from February 25th on.
