4 Wednesday, July 26, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon School supplies drive gets underway Summer may be at its height — but the school year is just a few weeks away. It’s time for the Back to School-School Supply Drive at Sisters Les Schwab Tire Center. Community members can drop off new school sup- plies during regular business hours and help students in need begin the school year well equipped for a suc- cessful year. Les Schwab Tire Center is located at 600 W. Hood Ave. and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The following new school supply items are needed: • 1-1/2-inch three-ring binders, notebook divid- ers, college- and wide-ruled notebook paper and spiral notebooks. • 3x5 and 4x6 index cards. • College-ruled and wide- ruled composition notebooks. • Wooden rulers with inches and centimeters (no plastic rulers).

I do both commissions and non- commissioned pieces.” Melchiori, a long-time Sisters resident, said “My paintings are described as active, with a high energy of broad exciting brushstrokes of saturated color. I love to paint and have, since I was 10 years old.” Her studio sits just outside her home and in her garden, which is a stun- ning example of her landscape design Sisters. “If people want to get their hands on some clay, Mitch (Deaderick) will help them with throwing pots, and I will have slabs of clay for them to work with,” said Michelle D e a d e r i c k .

Veteran Sisters artists Ken Merrill and Michelle Deaderick, both potters, said that open studio tours have worked very well here years ago, and they are working hard to reposi- tion this event as an annual, or even semi-annual event, in personal” nature of the tour that will be fun for all ages. Some studios – like Cooley’s – are compact: his is tucked into the back of The Collection Gallery, while oth- ers – like Zeitner’s Z Glass Art – take up a large addi- tion to her home. Merrill has developed an increasingly large studio connected to his Canyon Creek Pottery gal- lery. Stratton Crow creates art at her kitchen table, but oh, what a view she has. Seven of the 12 partici- pating artists are in Sisters, and the remaining studios are within easy driving dis- tance. This is a self-guided tour. All you need is a map to the studios. You can pick one up at Hood Avenue Art, The Collection Gallery, Clearwater Gallery, Sisters Gallery & Frame Shop, Paulina Springs Books, Raven Makes Gallery, or the Chamber of Commerce. There is no charge for the tour, but there will be dona- tion boxes at each location, to support the arts in Sisters. Colorful blue, white and red signs will be posted along the roadside directing visitors on the day of the tour. More information, including art- ists’ profiles and photographs of their work, is available at the SAA website, www. sistersarts.org/studio-tour.
