Visiting Studio

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

moontide1This week Grace and I dropped off 2,500 Prince Edward County Visitors Guides and rack cards for TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine and Countylicious at Moontide Studio Gallery where Tara Wilkinson was collecting the promotional materials of seven local businesses in order to pass them on to CTM Media Group for distribution. (Many thanks to Tara.)

moontide2While we were there, Tara’s husband artist Andrew Csafordi gave us a tour around their lovely lilac-ringed property, which comprises several out buildings that house various workspaces including Tara’s studio/gallery, Love Nest Studios, and a large barn where Andrew’s encaustic artworks that incorporate materials such as beeswax and twigs are on display. Visit them the next time you’re travelling the Arts Trail.
