The northernmost studio in Milwaukee County is the home studio of potter Jean Wells, Jean's Clay Studio in the village of Brown Deer. Tour Stop 16.
Jean hand-carves and paints colorful designs onto her functional stoneware pottery and works in a cosy little studio in the back of the garage. Attendees love to view the garden as well around their home lovingly tended by Jean's husband Bob.

Jean's two guest artists are:
Illinois Jeweler Amy "hinged jewelry" Taylor - Amy's jewelry is entirely fabricated & emphasizes movement, mechanism & unique hinge-work. She also incorporates gemstones, enamels & found objects.

Fabric artist Mock - Textiles for Body and Soul - Erika uses salvaged materials to sculpt zero-waste art to wear; free spirited richly colored accessories (wings!) to wake your body and perceptions.

Back for a second year in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee you will find sculptor Jason Blenkinsop at MKE Studio Tour stop 14.
Jason began welding after high school and started creating sculptures at the age of 18. Jason lost the majority of his vision in a motorcycle accident in 2004 leaving him legally blind. That didn't stop him from doing what he loves!
Jason now creates one of a kind sculptures from any metal he can get his hands on inside his home garage.
