Cedar artisans open studios
The fall foliage may be blowing away but beauty and talent still abound in artisan studios in Cedar and Yellow Point.
The annual Cedar and Yellow Point Artisans Association’s Country Christmas Tour begins today (Nov. 22) and runs until Sunday (Nov. 25), 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Twenty-three of the mid- Islands’ most unique and celebrated artisans welcome visitors to the country setting at their studios, shops and farms. Each artisans will display their work, discus and demonstrate techniques, answer questions and serve light refreshments.
