Artist and craft lovers had an opportunity to take in the scenic autumn beauty of DeKalb and Cannon County while touring the area’s finest studios over the weekend.
The 20th annual Off the Beaten Path Studio Tour began Friday and wrapped up Sunday. Twenty nine artists opened up their studios at fourteen stops along the route to demonstrate craft mediums and offer handcrafted shopping opportunities.
Perhaps one of the most popular places on the tour was the Cosmic Clay Studio of Louis and Christine Colombarini who have been creating art clay vessels for almost 40 years. Their studio is located on the Old Mill Hill Road near Dowelltown.
“Bringing the simplicity of clay to life with perfect form, texture, and color is something we take pleasure in and we strive for excellence in creating aesthetically-pleasing ceramic pieces. Over the years we have taken our audience down visual avenues of classical, abstract, Deco, and futuristic design,” said Louis.
On the last day of the tour Sunday, Louis showed off some of his and Christine’s creations in the video below.
