About the Tour

The Artisans Studio Tour was founded in 1994 by a group of Charlottesville area artisans to enhance the community's awareness of professional artisans living and working in the region. In 2024 we celebrate the 30th year of artisans collaborating to make a public showing of their work. All Tour artisans have gone through a rigorous approval process that ensures that the crafts are of the highest quality.

Craft lovers will see some of Virginia’s finest crafts including pottery, furniture, weaving, fabric design, jewelry, stained glass, wood turning, and quilting. The Tour provides an excellent opportunity to purchase the work of talented area artisans as unique gifts or for your own collection.
