Hey, it keeps things exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Every summer The Municipality of Saanich creates this wonderful event to show off all the artists that inhabit studios all over the town. There will be 48 artists booths, a variety of musicians and good food all along the Gorge Walkway.<\/p>\n<p>My personal favourite thing is having students that I&#8217;ve taught from years past, pop in and say hello and tell me what they&#8217;ve been up to. And it&#8217;s always fun to get a chance to show off our new sculptures and talk about the fun of mosaic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_353\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-353\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-353 size-full\" title=\"teddy bears\" src=\"https:\/\/www.summerhouseart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/teddybears.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of beautiful Newfoundlanders\" width=\"400\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summerhouseart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/teddybears.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.summerhouseart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/teddybears-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A pair of beautiful Newfoundlanders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And did I mention that we have a weakness for some of the wonderful dogs that accompany their owners to this event.
