The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art Studio Tour was yesterday. Museum patrons went through seven artist studios - including John's. The Museum sold around 125 tickets. I'd say we had roughly eighty people through here yesterday.
John spent the week cleaning up - with all the sawdust he generates simply vacuuming is a major chore. He also assembled parts to build a framework for one of his sculptural pieces. As he talked to folks he worked on the framework and answered questions about how he worked, what his background was like, and what materials he used.
I hung out in the other side of the shop where he'd placed several completed pieces so folks could see the finished product. After people listened to John for a while they'd come by and I'd show them around.
I also led several garden tours. To get to the shop you walk past the new garden, so there were several people who had seen the garden and who wanted to walk around a bit when they'd finished in the studio.
