Kristin Qualls talks about Wheaton’s open studio. Oral history interview with Kristin Qualls conducted by Catherine Whalen and Barb Elam, July 26, 2019, Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center. Clip length: 00:34.

Kristin Qualls: We’ve always had demonstrations, that’s always been part of Wheaton. And how we share this wealth of knowledge we have with us is to have that open studio that the public can go watch artists work, that it’s not a theater set. It’s not a scripted demonstration. It’s not—you can go in there and watch actual production happening, whether we’re making pumpkins, or goblets or whatever, or whether it’s an artist—could be a paperweight artist, any fellow who’s here—an Emanation artist, throughout our time working right there in the studio.
