Welcome to Studio Rally 2011!

Toad’s jalopy raced into view peeling round the bend with his scarf terrified to horizontal by the force of the turn. Nearly flipping the auto, he regained control in the laneway, pulled the brake taut and came to a screeching halt in the door-yard of Toad Hall. Jumping over the door, he lifted his dusty goggles onto his soiled hat, flipped open the boot, reached in and thrust a splendid tea pot over his head like a trophy. Giggling himself into a laugh he declared skyward that he would no longer purchase ordinary things when he could revel in touring the back roads, visit the most delightful artists, procuring one-of-a-kind finery consummate with any displayed at the King’s palace. “…all this, and tea served with scones as well! What could possibly make a more satisfying excursion?”

When it comes to revelry and self reward, we could all be guided by Toad’s passion…or, better yet, use this guide. Open the map and you’ll see you needn’t go far to find a prize of your own to adorn your hutch, grace a wall or ornament the garden. Perhaps you’ll meet just the right artist for that commissioned piece for your new room, the ring for that auspicious milestone, or that consummate set of dinnerware you’ve been searching for. You can do all this and more, all while exploring one of the most beautiful and diverse regions on earth. Take your time. Meet the people. Their work is an expression of their life; their techniques set them apart. Admire their skill, support them and reward yourself; leave with a piece of their art.

On your return, hold your treasure high and make testament to the soul-felt richness of a life adorned with meaningful works of art.
