The Priest’s Mill Arts Centre (PMAC), will be a hive of activity on the weekend of 27-28 September as part of the Apples & Art Studio Tour.
In addition to the exceptional collection of artworks on show as part of the PMAC Gallery’s Fall25 Exhibit, the studio will be abuzz with four artists in the studio showcasing their craft with live painting, silversmithing, marquetry and stained-glass demonstrations.
The Ottawa Plein Air Group will be setting up opposite PMAC in Mill Square, joining in on the creative buzz, painting the historic Priest’s Mill’s and other scenes in Alexandria.
“The weekend will be filled with creative minds and hands, showcasing their creative process — this is a must-stop studio on the Apples & Art route for the weekend” said Lourens Joubert, PMAC’s Executive Director.
Artists in the studio for the weekend are:
Silversmith Rain Kazymerchyk can make silver sing! An eye for detail, the ability to craft silver and inlay stone, creates beautiful wearable art. Take some singing silver home.
Watch acrylic painter Sue Muri as she lays down one vibrant stroke after another to create her joyous work.
Hamdullah Arbab‘s seemingly effortless ability to capture emotion in every portrait, astounds — testimony to decades of dedication to his art. Come closer — watch and engage — he may end up painting you.
Marquetarian, Richard Charlebois‘ ability to trigger the imagination, to coax a scene out of veneer and play with the grain is a joy to behold. See this marquetry artists in action.
