October 8 and 9 and October 15 and 16.  10 am to 5 pm.

Two other amazing artists will join me: Donna Stevens and Diane Russell. 

The tour covers two weekends in October, and we will be doing demonstrations and showing a lot of examples of our art for viewing for sale.  If the weather is nice, we will even have live music.

Portland Open Studios covers most of the neighborhoods in the Portland Area!  With over 115 artists participating we know it's a lot to sort through.  To help with the overwhelm we've organized them into smaller groups by neighborhood allowing you to more easily organize your own tour.  Follow the link to see what artists live in your neighborhood.
