Welcome to Wild Onions Studio. I am a handmade paper artist and counselor with 25 years of experience. I believe that art heals. Art offers possiblilities for self-expression and is a venue for all of us to know more about our inner thoughts and feelings.
During the Labor Day weekend my studio is open for private showings. Wild Onions Studio is located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin in beautiful Door County. Our address is 4859 Bay Shore Drive and the phone number is (920) 743-5108. My web site address is http://www.wildonionsstudio.com
This weekend I will be casting two large pieces of wall artwork. Both reflect the spirit of freedom and support. The first piece is a kite with in lays of women flying. The second piece will be prototypes of people supporting one another. My task to day is to make the pulp form cotton and abaca fibers in a vat. I will make the paper useing a 16th century dip method and cast the forms on a very large drying board. The paper will be wet and fragile. After sponging most of the water from the wet paper, I will airbrush the pieces with my handmade watercolor. Then it will take several days for the artwork to dry. Then I will paint the pieces with handmade acrylics. After that dries then I will seal and mount the final artwork.
