The Old Dockton Press

Item

SOON

Can you believe it’s already been a year since the last Spring Tour? I can’t.

You really should come. There is something for you. You’ll find framed originals on the studio walls and unframed originals to browse.  There will be hand printed cards and tags, fine art prints of original work, as well as tile coasters and art-adorned canvas bags. 

I’ll have some cozy chairs and maybe even an outdoor fire.  You can chat with the artist.  You can chat with your neighbors.  Or you can just sit and eat cookies.  Really.  I mean it.

Don’t forget to bring some quarters so you can partake in Vashon’s only ART VENDING MACHINE.  You should stop by.  It's only a dollar.   I can make change.  When is the last time that four little quarters bought you something that brings you JOY.  I’ll bet it’s been too long. 

There are several other studios within walking distance from here. You heard that right. You can get your steps in while enjoying art. Come on. Head to Dockton.

May 3 & 4 and May 10 & 11.
