Friday began the annual Danforth art event which is ongoing until May 11. Inside Artisans At Work, I met Tara Shelton, who not only runs the place (and started it, with fellow artisans), but is possessed of many skills. She does wood burning, teaches sculpture and listed so many more crafts, I can’t remember all of them.
The studio/gallery/shop offers variety, too. Paintings, drawings, ceramics, leather goods and jewellery are for sale. There are life drawing sessions, craft classes, community meetings and monthly art exhibitions. On May 24th there will be a swap meet for trading and selling unused art supplies.

There are more goodies at Artisans at Work that I should have mentioned. During the wintertime, when it’s too cold to hold the Farmers’ Market in East Lynn Park (nearby on the Danforth), Tara hosts it inside.
All year round, there are edible treats available. As her email sig says, “Artisan Teas,Coffee,veggies,salads meats, eggs, honey,oils syrup, sun-dried fruit & nuts, wood-fired Montreal bagels & cream cheese and more!”
