This Easter weekend the Cowichan Valley Artisans invite and welcome everyone to come see the studios where the work each artisans is known for is created.
The Cowichan Valley Artisans (CVA) is�a group of professional artisans�who produce a Easter Weekend Studio Tour as a means of promoting their year-round studio tour that runs from Ladysmith to Mill Bay.�
The emphasis is on high quality fine craft. �The concept of craft employed, however, extends to practices not usually found in run-of-the-mill studio tours: CVA boasts not only painters, potters, glass artisans and a wood turner, but two furniture makers, a nationally acclaimed chef focusing on zero-mile cuisine, the only winery on the continent that makes ancient method balsamic vinegars and a traditional barber trained and certified in the age-old art of straight razor shaves.
Although the efforts of CVA is to promote its members, CVA in turn supports its environmental community:�The Land Conservancy's Keating Farm Estate�and the�Somenos Marsh�Wildlife Society are socio-environmental efforts that are included free of charge in the brochure, on the map and on the CVA web site in an effort to promote public appreciation and support for these sites as well as to provide tour goers respite from the rat-race.�
Come and see what the Cowichan Valley Artisans have to offer at their studios either during their Easter Weekend Studio tour or at any time during their year-round studio tour. For each studio's hours outside of the Easter Weekend Studio Tour, the Cowichan Valley Artisans' studio tour brochure is available throughout the Cowichan Valley but always at Excellent Frameworks, 28 Station St., Duncan, and at Experience Cycling 482 Trans Canada Ave., also in Duncan.
