Monday evening we walked to La Maison Bleue Textile Art Studio where five artists work and sell their goods. We had to ring the door bell and get buzzed in. Then climbed a dark stair case to the studio. The front room was a gallery and show room, and the back two rooms was their work area. All five were painting on silk making wall hangings, scarves, ties, pillow cases, and book marks. The five ladies had graduated together, but each had their own slant to painting on the silk. One artist did a lot of Georgian alphabet calligraphy. (Georgian has its own alphabet, one of only 6 alphabets.) Laurel bought a wall hanging that she was eyeing from her last visit. I bought a 5x8 inch silk painting stretched on light little sticks, an egg, and a book mark.
The stair case was even darker on the way down. I kept a good grip on the railing, as I could not see my feet.
The pictures are their studio and show room.
