Raglan artists had hundreds of visitors on Saturday 29th January the first day of the Raglan Artist Studio Weekend. At the Old School Arts Centre in Stewart St, visitors checked out artists at work on jewellery and on clay art in the Clay Shed behind the Old School building.
The Open Studio Weekend continues today Sunday and on Monday with artist studios open from 10am to 4pm. All of the open studios are included within the Raglan Art Trail Guide along with maps of Raglan and its surrounding area. These show the locations of the various artists involved in this event, making it easy to plan your visits for each day. The well produced, quality guide is a handy size to keep with you while exploring Raglan and the wider Whaingaroa area. It provides details of 38 artists working in a range of media from painting, sculpture and photography to bone carving, mosaics and wearable art.
The artists will have a range of their work on display and available for purchase, and will be happy to discuss their thoughts and processes with you.
Copies of the Guide can be found at the Raglan i-Site in Wainui Road, the Raglan Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street, at Raglan cafés and galleries and at many other outlets throughout the Waikato and Auckland areas.
