Sadly the area I live in doesn't have any Doors Open events going on this year. Despite this shortfall, the area does have a number of self directed art tours going on this fall. This weekend I took in the Sylvan Circle Tour which features 12 stops and over 50 artists and artisans.Highlights:
- Getting a chance to go into the old community halls and churches that served as venues for this tour.
- The three studio stops on the tour, which let you visit the artist's workshop.
- Seeing the variety of pottery, paintings, and crafts which are made by locals. Some high points for me were:
- Weaving done by Russ Mason
- Seeing Susan Levesque's unique style of using gourds as canvas for painting
- Stone jewelry by Jeanne Dumas

Sounds interesting since at least all the places you visited were being used. Did you buy anything cool?
I resisted the urge to splurge on lovely looking jewelry and decorative poetry. Though, I did end up with a hand made heat pack thing -- the kind with beans inside that you heat up in the microwave.
