Mahurangi artists are opening their studios for two weekends in May, allowing visitors to watch them at work in a variety of media.
The Mahurangi Artists Studio Trail will feature artists and craftspeople working with paint, glass, fabrics, photography, wood, jewellery and other media.
Venues include Sheepworld, Warkworth, Snells Beach, Algies Bay, Matakana, Omaha and the Tawharanui Peninsula
Organiser Alysn Midgelow-Marsden says the trail offers the chance to watch artists demonstrate their craft, talk to them about their ideas, purchase works of art and perhaps inspire visitors to create works of art themselves.
“Grab family and friends, hop in the car, on your bike or however you travel. Take an hour, take a day, take a weekend. Stop at the beach, the park, the café, the market, but mostly enjoy the wide variety of talent on show around you,” Alysn says.
The trail opens on the weekends of May 11 and 12 and May 18 and 19.
The trail is free. Visitors can secure a map from the i-SITE, libraries and cafes, or download from Facebook (Mahurangi Artist’s Studio Trail).
Intending visitors should confirm opening times for individual studios by checking the map.
Participating artists are: Alysn Midgelow-Marsden, Barry Thompson, Belinda Barnao, Carolann Plamus, Daryl Lex Price, Fabricated Narratives, Gail Taylor, Heather Skeates, Jeanette Switzer, Jill Guillemin, John Mulholland, John Wright, Julie Dowland, Karen Williamson, Kerry Kline, Kim Buchanan, Margaret Needham, Pat Turney, Pauline Hirst, Priscilla Brady, Ross Mann, Sharlene Hasler, Tanya McCabe and Wyn Thomas.
