Winery Turns to Muse Peninsula News Review- May 26, 2009 - "A new muse will draw wine lovers to North Saanich."
Winery Turns to Muse Peninsula News Review- May 26, 2009 - "A new muse will draw wine lovers to North Saanich."
Visitors to Muse Winery will be greeted at 11195 Chalet Road by a new face…
The change from Chalet to Muse takes more than just time. It’s not only a new label, it’s a new image, new ambiance, all while continuing the care of the vineyard and attention to all the elements of making handcrafted award winning wines. While the highway signs Wine Tour signs are still showing Chalet, the unveiling of the new sign at the winery took place last week. Muse Winery owners, Peter and Jane Ellmann, commissioned artist David Hunwick after he held a sculpting course at the winery this spring. They wanted an original piece to replace the old Chalet , that would be unique and represent the likeness of the Muse mermaid designed by Andrew Lewis. David created the piece by sculpting in clay relief on a plywood board. The process then required a rubber mould to cover the piece and then a fibreglass mould over that. Two resin casts were made, one for each side and then laminated onto a lightweight board. The piece was then hand finished, the patina applied and a final clear lacquer was sprayed over both sides. The Ellmanns are thrilled with the finished piece. It’s one more step towards completing the changeover to Muse Winery and shows off the talents of local artist David Hunwick.
