Nestled under the Eucalyptus, carved into the side of a hill is a magical land
where imaginations have converged.
Saunter over pathways of wood chips (breathe in the earthiness – it’s heavenly)
and you will find an eclectic array of artistic offerings
sprawled across expanses of wall, and shelved within newly individually fabricated booths.
Nosh on tasty lunch type fare and enjoy a cool drink
while listening to local musicians play anything from
folk, honky tonk, rock, reggae, world, blues and jazz.

One of our favorite things to watch though is the Glass Blowing Demonstration
Such an amazing art to observe, and a fascinating process to behold.
The results are just stunning and it is interesting to see the unique style of handling and working with the glass that each individual artist imparts.

I think best of show for me this year would have to be
an artist named Isaac Anderson.
As if his painted photographs weren’t captivating enough,
his frames were incredible.
Plaster over wood so he told me, but gave the presence of solid stone.
Check his site out and see if it doesn’t move you too.

The Sawdust Art Festival is on daily from 10 to 10 until August 30th.
Fourth of July hours – 10 to 6

Go check out their site for more details, and do plan on visiting before the summer is out, being amongst tall trees is certainly reason enough to visit, but there is just so much more…
