Freeland Art Studios

FAS (Freeland Art Studios) is a group of twelve working Whidbey Island artists from various disciplines who can be found in one location in Freeland. United by shared workspace and a passion to create, we are stone, bronze, and metal sculptors, tile makers, painters, potters, and monument makers.

We produce original works of art in stone, bronze, metals, clay, glass, mixed media, paint, and more. At our studios you will find fine art sculpture for in or outdoors, paintings, functional pottery, custom designs in tile… all in a working studio environment.

UPCOMING EVENTS 2026

JUNE 6 (Saturday): The Freeland Art Studios Annual Open House is 11-4 on Saturday, June 6, 2026. Open to the public

Every year we set aside one day for the whole studio to be open for shoppers and visitors to see the working artist studios inside. You’ll be welcomed by the artists, and a hidden treasure-trove of original art. Parking is easy and available all around the building.

A first-time feature of this Annual Open House will be a Retrospective Sale by one of our artists. Lane Tompkins, after 26 years of carving stone is hanging up his stone tools (in favor of clay tools) and is offering more than 30 unique sculptures in marble, limestone, and alabaster. Because Lane won’t be paying gallery commissions and wants to make room for future work, these distinctive, one-of-a-kind sculptures are priced at well below market value to clear inventory. Some are small for a coffee table, some are large for gardens and pedestals, and they are all unique creations with fascinating stories.  

FAS artists are working in a variety of media, including: Lloyd Whannell (stone and cast class sculpture), Lane Tompkins (stone and bronze sculpture), Sue Taves (stone sculpture), Alexandra Morosco (stone and bronze sculpture), Matt Monforte (painting and web/graphic design), Benjamin Mefford (stone sculpture), Charles LaFond (domestic pottery), Carol Rose Dean (ceramic tile), Penelope Crittenden (stone sculpture), Ken Barnes (stone sculpture), and our newest studio member, Tristan Moehs (stone sculpture).

Freeland Art Studios over 7000 sq feet of unique industrial-quality professional studio space shared by these artists, the original FAS artists have been working in this space since 2004.
