Celebrate Art, Process, and Community

Amesbury Open Studios is a weekend-long celebration of creativity — when artists, makers, and small businesses open their doors to the public. Across downtown and beyond, you’ll find painters, photographers, jewelers, weavers, sculptors, and dreamers sharing their craft and stories.

This year at Caravan, we’re thrilled to feature artists of tin-type, jewelry, and weaving — each bringing their unique voice, materials, and magic to the weekend. Together, they reflect the heart of handmade work and the beauty of slow, intentional creation.

Theresa is the artistic designer and maker behind Mindfully Made Adornment based in the New England area of Massachusetts.

Earning a Fine Arts degree in Metalsmith & Jewelry Making, Theresa has continued to pursue her career as a goldsmith for nearly two decades.

Inspired by ancient ritualistic adornment & the unique symbolism adornment holds across cultures, Theresa creates timeless collections of empowering jewelry made for the modern world.

Ashley Courtney is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative work finds its heartbeat in the natural world. Her woven pieces are meditations on texture, movement, and form — tactile expressions of light, landscape, and emotion.

Through her loom, Ashley explores the delicate balance between structure and spontaneity. Each weave is a reflection of the small moments that inspire her: wind across water, sunlight through leaves, the soft geometry of shadow.

Her approach honors the slow craft of weaving — thoughtful, grounded, and deeply human — while transforming fiber into art that feels both timeless and alive.
