11 • Winged Bull Studio
Clayton
Near Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway
Winged Bull Studio, established in 1988, is the atelier of artist Greg Lago. An old cylinder proof press looming large against the back wall testifies to the role that printmaking plays in the studio. Lago’s works in wood and paper can be viewed as they are created. The atelier exhibits the works of other artists on a rotating gallery schedule.
Teaism, a café located in the studio’s backyard garden of herbs and flowers, serves gourmet, vegetarian fare. Made from scratch, often with home grown, organic ingredients, the dishes are served with fine teas, homemade lemonade, beer or wine.
