Farmers inside the Arcade and under the tents along the cobblestones of Pike Place in the market will offer beautiful bouquets to brighten any mom’s weekend. On the craftstables, look for many floral-themed, handcrafted gifts–from glass art to yard art–made locally by Market craftspeople. You can also create your own card for mom at a free card making tent on the street. SELF Magazine’s Healthy Beauty Awards 2012 listed these as best products, and all are $10 and under.

Cleansing Lotions Lips Eyes Hair Nails The annual Kirkland Artists Studio Tour (KAST) occurs every year on Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The free self-guided tour includes dozens of local artists showing in unique home studios throughout Kirkland. Explore the scenic neighborhoods of Kirkland on the beautiful shores of Lake Washington. Tour visitors are invited into a variety of different studios, representing dozens of local artists. Browse among new works; watch art making demonstrations; and purchase art directly from the artists themselves. To pick up a brochure which includes a map of the KAST 2012 Studios and Artists, please visit the Kirkland Arts Center, 620 Market Street, Kirkland WA 98033 (Google map). Smart phone users can directly access our KAST 2012 Google Map for help in navigating the tour. KAST began in 2004 when a small band of artists decided it was time Kirkland had its own artist studio tour. The artists open their studios once a year on Mothers Day weekend to give the public a rare opportunity to see artists create in their studios. Kirkland Arts Center took on the management of the tour in 2008 as part of new programming initiatives designed to support the arts within the local community.
