Mother Earth Studios

Hilary Rice is a weaver, spinner, dyer, stitcher, as well as a potter...

"When I was young, I dreamed of being able to make everything I would need... not as a career, but in my free time. Several decades before there was such a thing as "The Slow Movement", I made things at a snail's pace - everything I made took a long time.

Now, after a lifetime of learning, I am delighted to spend my days creating beautiful things and sharing the results.
I take pride in my work and I strive for excellence.

I currently have three looms that I weave on regularly: My 'house loom' is a 36" Schacht 8-shaft Mighty Wolf. I have recently added a 63" 12-shaft Glimakra countermarch loom & an 8-shaft 22" Macomber loom to my studio.

My sewing machine is an Elna 7200 and I use a wide variety of thread brands, including Madeira & Canadian-made Wonderfil.

My preference is always to make something 'from scratch'... so rather than use commercially produced fabric, I will dye or paint a natural cotton, linen or silk. I enjoy the entire process of washing a sheep's fleece, carding the clean wool & then spinning it into yarn which I can dye any colour I choose. I have over 2 decades of experience colouring fibre.

I was very fortunate to be gifted many of the items needed for a pottery studio! And so more recently, I have returned to a much earlier love - throwing my own pots. So once again, starting with the most basic ingredient: clay.

The resulting pieces I make are truly unique!

Stop #6: guest artist at 136 Old Hungerford Road, Roslin

Joanne Rich, Natural material lanterns

As a Chinese Canadian, making lanterns helps me connect with my culture because lanterns play a dominant role in all Chinese festivals and celebrations, such as Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Harvest Moon Festival, weddings, and even at funerals.

Creating with natural materials is my way of side stepping mass consumption, mass production, and corporate greed; while at the same time, discovering more about our overlooked natural environment. Instead of turning to the store for materials, I turn to my garden. Branches and vines are arranged into a unique form. Next, cotton strings are wrapped around the joints to fasten the lantern together. I make my own paper from plants, and attach it to the frame using wheat paste. In the final stage, the lantern is lit. The light, a symbol of truth, knowledge and guidance, shines through the materials, celebrating nature’s gift that surrounds us.

With a focus on sustainability, Joanne’s backyard has become the source for her materials. Branches are used to form the skeleton for her lanterns, and plants used for papermaking are grown for their fibers, mucilage, and colors. Joanne has
recently received a project grant from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Arts Council. With continued support from the Ontario Arts Council, she teaches papermaking and lantern making workshops in schools throughout Ontario.

Watercolour is my therapy that weaves me on an inner child like path. Entering the Wonderful World of Whimsy has inspired my exciting fun watercolour process and imagination. It is very rewarding to take the viewers on a magical journey through brilliant colours, textures, and many layers, all while putting a smile on their faces. My passion for Photography and capturing moments in time started at a very young age. Manipulating in camera shots of landscapes and abstracts through the lens is exciting. Finding new techniques is always a challenge I look forward to.

Cathy Ross is presenting watercolor works by her late mother Audrey Ross. Audrey was a beloved founding member of our Studio Tour. Audreys work will be exhibited and available for purchase at the Tweed Heritage Center.

Audrey Ross was born in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan in August 1928. Her father was a firefighter, who would eventually find his way to Ottawa to become the Chief Fire Marshall. Ross attended school in Ottawa, including art lessons. It is in Ottawa where she met her future husband and became a mother of three. Ross lived in many cities across Canada before landing in her final destination: Tweed.

Art has been a passion all her life. Ross drove her mother and teachers crazy by drawing in the margins of her school textbooks. She recalls that her art lessons in Ottawa were very formal, which did not suit her style or character. Ross’s art process would undergo a transformation later in life when she travelled to Actinolite to attend the Schneider School of Fine Art in 1975. John Bennet was an instructor at the school, a watercolourist, who would become a good friend and have a significant impact on her. She told Bennet about her “formal” training, how precise she was taught to draw, and moreover about staying within the lines.

Bennet’s philosophy was just the opposite. Bennet encouraged her to loosen up, and paint not just what you saw but how the subject makes you feel, and gave her this exciting piece of advice: paint outside the lines all you want. Bennet’s mentorship set her free, and she never looked back. Ross’s work is quiet and calming. The subtle structure and a balance of muted and colourful luminosity shines through her watercolours of landscapes and rural settings such as rivers, dams, forests, and farms.”

Coralee is always on a journey of growth and expansion, with a current developing interest in power carving. Her favourite paint medium is probably Acrylic. She also paints in Oil, Water Colour and Oil and Cold Wax and enjoys dabbling in Photography. Coralee is currently wanting to adapt her wire crafting knowledge into something that she can marry with either her paintings or her new carving interest. As an artist with disability and varying levels of health challenges, her art passions are of necessity an intermittent pursuit.

A physical gallery space of her work is now open at her home. Available in the gallery are original paintings and select prints, original photography prints, greeting cards of either her paintings or her photography and more coming. Coralee has shown locally and, in the U.S., has works on loan/display and sold into private collections.
