Perth Autumn Studio Tour

Sep 07, 2022

After a prolonged and unanticipated two-year Covid hiatus, the members of the Perth Autumn Studio Tour are excited to announce that this beloved Studio Tour is returning this fall! The dates have changed to September 24th and September 25th.

We will have four stops this year. These include: The Maberly Hall (with ample parking; or perhaps consider biking the trail from Maberly to Brooke Valley!), The Cordwood Studio (Zoë Lianga), and the studios of Susie Osler and Catherine Orfald with 30 participants (indoors and outdoors) spread between them. As several long-time members will be on sabbatical this year, the studios of Franc van Oort, Anne Chambers, Brent Kirkham, and Dunn Sohn will not be open. It has been our intention too, to encourage younger and emerging makers in their creative pursuits, and many will be featured on the Tour this year. 

A downloadable/printable map and the list of stops, with addresses and corresponding artists is available on our website: www.perthstudiotour.com. Be sure to also bookmark the website on your phone as an alternate navigation tool. 

Our small but mighty organizing team has had fun imagining the 2022 revamped version of the Perth Autumn Studio Tour. It has become amply clear to us that our patrons have missed the Tour for the past couple of years and are as hungry as we are to reconnect again in our creative spaces. And speaking of hunger…you won’t want to miss out on the fabulous harvest lunch offered at our small, parent-organized Brooke Valley School available from 10:00 – 4:00 each day. The menu will be posted on the website the week of the Tour.

We hope the changes we are making this year feel fresh and inspire you to come out September 24/25 from 10:00-5:00 on this year’s Perth Autumn Studio Tour! Please note: many makers will not be able to accept credit or debit cards. Please come prepared with cash or cheques to avoid disappointment.
