MEMBER EVENTS





JANE PETTIT


Friends,
Exciting news! I've joined a very talented group of artists who open their studios once a year and put on a great tour. In past years, I've gotten many great gifts here.


This is your chance to see the inside of the studio where most of my art is born!  The art is hung, the lights are up, the wassail's brewing and the place has never looked so good! The barn and sculpture garden are ready for your visit. We'll have coffee, tea, wine and snacks, so come for a visit!  Vermont slate and stone features a prominent place in my art this season. 


There are 3-4 studios within 3 miles of mine and all 13 are within about 20 minutes. You can visit some or all.  Treat yourself to a day in the country and get a head start on your gift-giving!  See you soon, Jane



Just up 270, the Middletown and Pleasant Valleys of central Maryland are home to a wealth of professional artisans. 13 studios featuring 16 artists will open for the annual Valley Craft Network Studio Tour on November 19 & 20 from 10-5 pm.  In its 35th year, Maryland’s oldest studio tour is free and open to the public.  One of those studios is an 1825 German Bank barn where I create my art. For additional information and the brochure with a driving map, go to www.valleycraftnetwork.org. Find pictures of our art on Facebook and Pinterest.
