Explore our craft rich area of southern Vermont during the three days after
Thanksgiving. Visit working studios and find beautiful works of art in clay, glass,
wood, metal and fiber, as well as tasty cheeses made from sheep’s and cow’s milk.
Enjoying the simple pleassure of driving the back roads of southeastern Vermont
at your own pace in search of art and craft is a gift in itself.
If you are coming from the south, not far from Exit 4 off I-91, there will be an
exhibit of at the Gleanery restaurant in the center of Putney village where you can
preview samples of each craftsperson’s work during the whole month of November.
Using the map, plan the studios you would like to visit during the tour, and follow
the numbered signs and red arrows to studios in the villages of Putney, Saxtons River,
Westminster, and Westminster West.
The extent of demonstrations will vary at each studio, but the artisans who will
be demonstrating their craft during the tour are indicated by a d symbol next to
their name. All artists will
be available to discuss
their work.
Last year we celebrated
35 years of the Putney
Craft Tour! This photo
features members from
the 2013 tour and
includes Margot Torrey
whose inspiration
helped create the studio
tour in 1978. Several of the founding members still open their studios each year
for this event, which is the oldest continuing craft studio tour in North America.
Most studios are open all year by appointment, but all are open from 10am-5pm
on the three days after Thanksgiving for this open studio event.
Some studios are wheelchair accessible. Call individual studios for information.
For further information about the studio tour, area accommodations, attractions
and directions, including a detailed page for each artisan, visit our web site
