Our first stop was the Sculpture Studio which was amazing! Mark Carroll sculpts in wood, stone and metal. His work is amazing. A stainless steel horse graces the entrance to the Cave Creek area. Check out his work online. www.thesculpturestudio.com.
After a quick bite to eat in Cave Creek we then toured about a half dozen other studios. One particular stop, Desert Rat Forge, was nestled into a water run area where two metal sculptures work year round and other artists joined them to make a very interesting stop.
Robin's Nest studio was a disappointment as the fibre artist's work was not on display. The only fibre artist on the tour! Darn. However, the stop redeemed itself. Both Melanie and I bought jewelry, and Robin had a wonderful Sangria concoction for a refreshment!
Another amazing stop was at Christopher Heede Studio. He works primarily in ceramic and glass. His studio is an interesting combination of a silo and tent structure. He is a very prolific artist and his driveway was interspersed with gorgeous pots, urns and raku bowls. Don and I bought an oriental looking urn with cholla handle.
I love the iron work! It looks like an interesting place.
