An amazing range of art on
offer...
Join us for the 15th Autumn Leaves Studio Tour. Our
guest artists, Christine McGrath of Bibelot Design, James Scultety and
Heather Buchanan of Sharper Edge Glass, and jeweller Jennifer Nicholson
of Just Perfect Designs will all be on hand to showcase their newest
designs. Paul and Elsa have also been busy creating a fabulous array
of pottery especially for the tour. Elsa's been working on some wild
sculptural pieces and Paul is hoping to get yet another firing of salt
glazed pots out of the kiln prior to the tour!
The fun and inviting atmosphere at Night & Day
Studio is reason enough to make it number one on your tour itinerary.

Empty Bowls Project
is well under way!
An army of potters gathered in August and created an
amazing number of soup bowls for the first ever Elora Empty Bowls Project.
Over 600 bowls were thrown in 4 days. Since then Night & Day Studio
has been busy finishing and glazing these bowls. Various potters have
also taken portions of the bowls to their respective studios to finish
in their own signature glazes. Finished bowls went on sale just over
one week ago and thus far the project has raised close to $2000 for
the Centre Wellington Food Bank! We have kept a few bowls here at the
studio so that studio tour visitors will have an opportunity to buy
one and support the project. $25 buys you a bowl, packaged in a lovely
little reusable tote bag including a voucher for a "scoop of soup"
at participating restaurants. Our own favourite, the Queen's Bush Bistro
here in Mount Forest is one!
October is Sensational
in Elora!
Empty Bowls is just one part of a great new festival
happening October 2nd to 13th in Elora. I really encourage you to check
out the wide range of events and activities slated to start next week!
Go to "Sensational
Elora - a festival of the senses"
Our Elora gallery, Styll,
is also taking part in the festival and will be hosting an exhibition
entitled "11 pieces in 11 days". This show will feature 11
works by Metallic Evolution, Bibelot Design, Night and Day Studio and
Sharper Edge Glass. The exhibition explores "the senses" via
various mediums; clay, glass, metal, and mixed mediums. All are invited
to see the show throughout the duration of the festival, and invited
to join us for a reception on October 9th, from 6 - 8pm. Refreshments
will be paired with a selection of wines courtesy of Jackson Triggs
and Inniskillin Wineries of Niagara. How can you say no to that!
Night & Day Studio
to participate in Artworks in Kitchener Waterloo this fall!
Artworks is a relatively new fine art and fine craft
show produced by The Record newspaper and held at Bingeman Park in Kitchener
November 1st and 2nd. This show and sale is quickly becoming known as
the place to go for quality Canadian craft, and a great place to go
for Christmas gift buying. Visit their website to learn more about it.
You may recognize the pottery used in thier promotional materials!!!

With the end of summer and the beginning of cooler
days we know fall is here. Along with shorter daylight hours we too

and shoppers by chance or by appointment. We are here most days but
as we prepare for our fall shows we will be away from time to time.
It's always a good idea to give a us a call and see
