Glasshouse Country Arts Tours – Photo of Fran Staley, photographer, artist & author.
Glasshouse Country Arts Trail
LOCAL ARTISTS visited during the glasshouse country arts trail draw inspiration from the magnificent scenery in Glasshouse Country.
The Mountains and the rural surrounds make up a stunning colour palette, which is reflected in the work.
The Arts Trail Tour makes this work accessible to guests, as these artists work from home studios and are not usually open to the public.
Come along and meet a range of people who create photographs, paintings, pottery, metal sculptures and features, craft work and use other mediums to express their creativity.
The works will be on sale. Some of the artists are able to create new works to suit the desires of customers, to fit in with their décor at home. You definitely won’t see any chain-store mass-produced work here.
Some of the studio artists are also running workshops, so if you like what you see you may like to book in for some lessons.
There will be a stop for morning tea along the way, and plenty of time for toilet stops and for taking photos, as we will travel by the beautiful Glass House Mountains between studios.
You will find the perfect Glasshouse Country souvenir to take home and enjoy for years to come.
