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).

(watercolor and sculp-
ture); Jan Daggett (jew-
elry); Michelle and Mitch
Deaderick (pottery); Linda
Hanson (painting and pho-
tography); Sandy Melchiori
(painting); Ken Merrill (pot-
tery); Randall Tillery (paint-
ing); and Susie Zeitner (glass
art).
“I’m delighted to be a part
of this tour,” said Hanson.
“I haven’t done one of these
in a long time,” she said.
“My home is my studio –
and I’ve spent a lot of time
getting it ready, so I hope
people come.” Both Hanson
and Tillery remarked on the
success of home studio tours
when they each lived in
California. “Every year, it got
better,” Tillery said, referring
to both sales and participation
by the artists and the public.
“My two areas of interest
and specialty are portraiture
and wildlife,” said Berryman,
“and I’ll have a couple of
pieces in progress as well as
some completed ones. 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

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.
