Fennville was our favorite town, partly because of Fernwood 1891. We just stopped in for coffee and a small breakfast before hitting the road home. The coffee is really good here and the space is really chill and cool. A few other folks were about, reading, having coffee and pastries, etc. As we had coffee, we both wandered into the art gallery in the adjoining (large) room and we both wound up buying a couple of her cute handmade coffee mugs. They have work by loads of local artists here, so stop in and support local creative people and get cranked on some pretty great coffee!

STUDIO 126 I have visited Studio 126 several times. The…read moreartists, Richard Moore and Sebastian Sandu, and their works are impressive. I first became aware of Richard's work in sculpture when I saw his horses displayed in the Grand River during Art Prize in 2012. I decided then I wanted one of his horses in my yard. After meeting Richard, he worked with me to get the pose that I wanted for the horse, making suggestions and listening carefully to my ideas. He created the horse, delivered it to my home, and positioned it in the back gardens. He definitely went the extra mile. Richard was friendly, easy to work with, and very accommodating. His amazing work sculpted from tree branches has brought acclaims from guests and neighbors alike. Sebastian's work in oil is captivating. He is equally at home with landscape and portrait and the sense of movement and life is evident. His paintings are standouts. When I commissioned a painting from him, he went to great lengths to discuss the various aspects of it, to carefully understand what I wanted, and to offer his expertise in its composition. He even went so far as to match the colors in the room where it was to be hung within the painting. He brought the painting to my home, and he hung it for me, also going that extra mile. The whole process was inspiring from start to finish as Sebastian's friendly and analytical nature captured my thoughts and ideas. Their works speak for themselves. A visit to Studio 126 to meet and to see their creations has been a positive and refreshing experience for me.

I paid a visit to this place on my first stop during the 2018 Wine and Harvest Festival, and I have…read moreto say, I was really intrigued with what I found there! The Southwest Michigan Artists' Association is a group of wonderful people who not only all love what they do, but they also make it possible for the artistically-inclined to have a place where thier creations cannot only be displayed for all to see, but also a place where anyone willing can come to learn how to make their own art. As I wandered on up, I noticed a number of people were clustered around someone who was throwing clay on a wheel. It was practically spellbinding- I mean, we all remember the smell of clay and paint and the like from our days in elementary school, but I never really developed the skills beyond 'mash clay and mold it until it looked vaguely humanoid, add three holes and it's a little ghost figure' bit. But just watching the artist make those pots, well... it makes me wonder if I could do the same thing. I also saw some very nice berry bowls (the clay bowls with holes in the bottom), and they seem like they'd be good either to use or just to put up on a shelf and use as a conversation piece! A little closer to the entrance, I found someone doing something I remember doing for fun waaaay back when I was a kid- placing a piece of paper in a machine that would spin it around rapidly, and then dripping paint on it from a height and letting gravity and centrifugal force do their thing. I still don't remember what the machines were called, only that we had one and it apparently got tossed because nobody carried the paints for it. But seeing that kind of thing made me think a lot of fun thoughts- but I kind of doubt the ones on display were as inexpensive as the toy one I had! After that, I stepped inside to take a look around. There were a few people inside- as well as plenty of art already on the walls to glance at, as well as some wonderful jewelry inside a case that was hand-made and looked really pretty! They were a bit out of my price range, though... Everybody looked to be having a lot of fun, though- there were a few painters in there, and someone else making what I thought was some kind of flower-arrangement (I could be wrong on that, but it looked really nice)! Maybe I'll drop in again and take some classes here- I'd like to think not all of my artistic talents lie with the written word! If you see something you like, there's also a display of business cards with contact information that you can use to contact the artist you're looking for! They're also looking to expand- but I urge you to stop on in and take a look around, and maybe give some classes a shot- or if you fancy yourself an artist, come on in and take a look around and do some networking to get your things shown!
