June - December
Deerheart Studios open by appointment.

   Look for our house number on the purple sign post (4735 Cowichan Lake Road), the second driveway past the East Indian Crematorium.

   My studio is only about 12 minutes from downtown Duncan. How about taking a lovely country drive past long views of the southern valley mountains, flower stands, horse farms, and fresh country air. My studio displays my work so please schedule a visit even if it's from your cell in your car from the driveway. Go to my contact page for a map.

Metchosin Summer School of the Arts

   I have spent several summers taking an artist's holiday by studying at MISSA and taking various art courses. It is not unusual for students to repeat courses just to enter the ambiance of art school located in a beautiful woodsy campus on the ocean tucked into a secluded cove. The setting and the high calibre of teachers draw artists from far and wide. I will return again to to take a weekend course, Sample Etching forJewellers & Metalsmiths under Crys Harse. www.missa.ca

July 11-15
   The next week at MISSA I will take the Jewellry course under Julia Lowther. www.missa.ca

I was stuffing the reduction cans with shredded magazines.
