Artists will take visitors inside their process during the South Sound Studio Tour

The free South Sound Studio Tour, happening Saturday and Sunday, April 20 and 21, offers a chance to peek inside the studios — and the creative processes — of local artists.

“We want to offer something that’s different than Arts Walk, and the difference is that visitors have the opportunity to have an intimate experience with our local talent,” said painter Kathy Gore Fuss, a tour organizer. “They’ll see the spaces where artists are working. They can have in-depth discussions and ask questions about the process, and there will be demonstrations in a number of the studios.”

Gore Fuss’s studio, an outbuilding in the yard of her Olympia home at 1302 Pioneer Ave. NE, is one of 25 on the self-guided tour , which features work by 74 artists including Joe Batt, Lynette Charters, Roxanna Groves Davis, Nicole Gugliotti, Aisha Harrison and Evan Clayton Horback.

Gore Fuss will show work from her latest series, which focuses on a nurse stump in Squaxin Park. Since June, she’s been drawing and painting various views of the stump, working outdoors in all kinds of weather.

“With this series, I’m trying to understand my own aging process,” the artist said. “The stump is another living part of our world that has gone through an extensive life cycle and is now towards the end of what it has to offer. But there are trees that are growing out of the richness of the stump. It’s providing sustenance to another generation.”

The series also speaks to the importance of trees — to Gore Fuss personally and to the world and its inhabitants.

“It’s of the utmost importance that we remember the significance that trees have for the health of our planet,” she said. “I work in local parks on a regular basis, and my goal is to help educate community members about the sacred nature of old-growth forests and to help people appreciate the fact that we have a huge number of parks within the city that are going to preserve the trees that exist there.”

As part of the tour, she’ll be hosting tree advocate Julie Ratner, who’ll talk about the importance of old-growth trees and share recordings of the nurse stump and other trees “singing” with help from a device that translates trees’ electrical signals into music. Ratner will be at Gore Fuss’s studio from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, and visitors can listen to the recordings at any time during the tour.

Many of the studios on the tour often go unnoticed. “Sometimes, people in my neighborhood come on the tour, and they are like, ‘We didn’t know you were here,’ ” said the artist, whose yard is also home to a second studio used by Randi Parkhurst, who creates botanical prints and decorative boxes.

“Some people have no awareness that artists live and work right in their neighborhoods,” she said. “It’s helpful for our community to understand how artists are surviving and how we make it work.”

Some studios on the tour — including the Lacey MakerSpace on the Saint Martin’s University campus and Van Tuinen Art gallery downtown — are regularly open to the public, but even some downtown studios aren’t easy to find.

One example is LGM Studios, where Charters is showing her work along with Sandra Bocas, Lucy Gentry and Mikaela Shafer. The entrance to the second-floor studio at 111-1/2 Capital Way is in the alley next to the Brotherhood Lounge.

Charters will be showing a piece from her internationally famous “Missing Women” series along with new work celebrating such accomplished yet often overlooked women as astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt, and Josephine Garis Cochrane, who invented the dishwasher.

“The ‘Matilda Effect’ series celebrates women’s history and achievements which are less documented, less compensated and often appropriated, leading us to believe that women are only useful in supporting roles,” Charters said. “This series is painted on repurposed household objects, to provide context to the tension between how women are traditionally seen and the trailblazers they really are.”

South Sound Studio Tour

What: The free tour offers the opportunity to visit 25 art studios and check out work by 74 local artists.

When: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 20 and 21

Where: Throughout the South Sound

Entertainment | method behind the masterpiece: east boulder county artists take the spotlight at spring studio tour.

With all of the fun activities to do when springtime rolls around in Boulder County — like hiking up in Nederland or going mountain biking at Hall Ranch — it’s easy to turn west and dive headfirst into activities at altitude when the warm weather hits.

We Front Rangers need to be reminded that there are plenty of reasons to hop in the car and head east. Especially this weekend.

The East Boulder County Artists spring tour is back and invites the artistically inquisitive to tour 56 different artists at 27 different studio locations throughout Longmont, Lafayette, Louisville and Niwot. In a true choose-your-own-adventure fashion, the self-guided tour allows the public to visit local artists as they work in their creative sanctuaries, offering a rare glimpse into the artistic process and a peek into the stories behind each masterpiece. The free event will run 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

From textile artists morphing a scratchy piece of cloth into a glittering tapestry, or stained glass artists fusing sharp bits of glass into a dainty suncatcher, this year’s tour features some of the most talented sculptors, painters, printmakers, fiber artists, potters, wood carvers and metal smiths in East County.

With so many amazing artists and studios to choose from, we rounded up some of our favorite artists in East County to visit on this year’s spring tour. For the definitive list of participating artists and studio locations, visit the interactive map at ebcacolorado.org to make the most of your sunny springtime weekend creative excursion. Printed maps are also available at Longmont Public Library, Louisville Public Library and at each of the studio locations. Or snag your copy on pages 8-9 of Friday Magazine.

Through April, don’t miss the preview shows that are on display at Longmont Public Library, 409 4th Ave., Longmont, and Louisville Public Library, 951 Spruce St., Louisville.

Unique porcelain pieces

Inspired by her love for the outdoors,  Heather Kegel’s bowls, cups, vases and mugs are more than

just receptacles, but canvases for delicate botanical illustrations, such as cacti and wildflowers. Her pieces feature the classic blue-on-white motif that is reminiscent of historical Chinese porcelain works, but with a contemporary twist.

Studio-goers can catch a glimpse of Kegel as she transforms a lump of clay into one of these gorgeously functional pieces — and perhaps snag one to add to their own collection.

Kegel will be showing her works and demonstrating her form at Studio No. 12, 2125 9th Ave., Longmont, along with with artists Rebecca Martin, Allie Olender, Mariah Stotsky and Julia Zuniga.

Learn more about Kegel at heatherkegelstudios.com .

Minimalist at maximum vibrancy

Ryan Wiese is an apparel-designer-turned-glass-jeweler-turned-painter, all trades that helped shape his art today.

His acrylic works are inspired by the shapes created when different colors of glass are melted together. With clean lines and vibrant contrasting colors, his paintings are a playful, abstract and beautiful feast for the eyes.

“My vision is to create paintings that are simple, yet captivating,” Wiese said in his statement for ECBA.

Head to Wiese’s studio to learn more about his creative process, which begins as sketches with pencil and ink — then see how he morphs them into chromatic canvases.

This weekend, visit Weise and watch him in action at Studio No. 22, 7983 Grasmere Drive, Boulder. Learn more at ryanwiese.com .

Bejeweled silversmith

Working with sterling and fine silver, as well as natural stones and semi-precious gems,  Tammy Helart jewelry designs are understated, elegant and altogether stunning.

Helart places an emphasis on the beauty of the stones she works with — which include turquoise, jasper and the rare opalized fossil wood — using the silver as a mere framework in her pieces and letting the rocks speak for themselves.

Tammy will show her work at Studio No. 17, 825 Tempted Ways Drive, Longmont, along with local artists Malena Hirschfeld and Debra Stanger. Learn more at splendentstonesshop.com .

Dreamlike nature

From rolling landscapes capturing Colorado foothills to abstract depictions of California poppies,

Longmont native Jessica Marshall paints the natural world around her using crisp blues, aspen yellows and warm magentas. Marshall’s paintings are soft and dreamlike, evoking a sense of tranquility and introspection in each piece.

Take a peek into Marshall’s creative world at Studio No. 3, 6307 Laodicea Road, Longmont, along with fellow artist Lorena Fox. Learn more at libraryofmarshallarts.com .

Moscow Museums

The Moscow Kremlin

Don’t miss a chance to see the very heart of Moscow, the Kremlin, the symbol of the Russian State, one of the greatest architectural ensembles in the world, a treasury of unusual relics and monuments of art. It is situated on a high Borovitskiy hill above the Moskva River, so you’ll be able to see a spectacular view of the city center. The famous Armory Chamber and the Diamond Fund are real treasure-houses, where you can see ancient Russian regalia, ceremonial tsar’s dress, church hierarchs’ vestments, arms, gold and silverware by Russian, European and Eastern masters. The Kremlin is the official President’s residence and remains a gorgeous political landmark. The UNESCO has included the ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin in the World Heritage List.
