Nestled on the meandering roads of North Frontenac, you will find many Artists and Artisans who create beautiful works of art in different mediums. Adding to our little piece of paradise are the fall colours, alive and vibrant, their reflection dancing on the water of our many lakes.

We invite you to come and enjoy our ‘Back Roads Studio Tour’.

Homestead Studio Glass

I am mostly self taught and enjoy the challenge of learning new techniques and improving my skills. I make lampwork beads by melting rods of glass at the torch and carefully winding the glass on to a mandrel to create beads. I also use my kiln to fuse glass.
