Folkmoot artisan open studio
There will be a special artisan open studio event from 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Folkmoot Friendship Center in Waynesville. For the second annual Groundhog Day celebration, themed costumes are welcome and encouraged.
Prizes will be given for the worst costumes, with judging based purely on favoritism. Light refreshments will be served. The public is invited to this one-of-a-kind observance in Waynesville.
Landscape artist Richard Baker has hosted this creative event in the past at his studio and attributes it to helping to end the doldrums of winter.
“Groundhog Day is a great day to get together,” Baker said, “And collectively hope for an early spring. Plus, it will be an opportunity to see some first-rate artwork from the talented artists at the Folkmoot studios right in the heart of Waynesville’s Hazelwood community.”
Artists work in the mediums of oil, textiles, glass, mixed media and more. In addition, Folkmoot’s center houses nonprofit groups and a number of businesses focused on health and wellness.
