By Kath Gannaway

Just one more wonderful weekend to explore the life of an artist in the Yarra Valley, as the Yarra Valley Open Studios 2017 initiative comes to a close.
Following the success of the Maroondah Highway and the Melba Highway weekend events, the third and final weekend of Open Studios showcases the artists along and off the Warburton Highway from Gruyere through to East Warburton.
Eighteen artists working in media from weaving and ceramics to papercuts, painting, metal, wood, eco dying and more, will open their studio doors on 11 and 12 November from 10am to 5pm.
Explore the spaces where artists create and make their art and experience how their creative spaces and natural surroundings inspire and motivate them.
Visitors will have the opportunity to share their magical world of inspiration and creativity as they demonstrate their skills, techniques and provide hands-on experiences.
Plan your Warburton studio visits at the group exhibition at the Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton where each artist has work on display until 14 November.
