Studio Rally: Art and Craft of Nova Scotia

by Robin Metcalfe

When Nova Scotia’s annual Studio Rally takes place each autumn, hundreds of craftspeople open their doors to the public. The event’s success over the years has led to a glossy book profiling some of the province’s best artists. Studio Rally: Art and Craft of Nova Scotia features 52 artisans whose works represent the quality and diversity of contemporary craft, ranging from the elegant long-necked vases of Sally Ravindra to the quirky, rustic twig sculptures of Ransford Naugler. Nova Scotia writer Robin Metcalfe delivers lively text that describes each artist’s work and rural lifestyle, and also delves into the province’s unique landscapes.
