The 26th annual Covered Bridge Artisans Studio Tour has a new look this year.
Join the Delaware River Valley studio tour online with its “Tour From Home.” Your favorite artists will be on-hand to share new work with visitors through a Zoom-platform in real time.
The live event will take place as usual on Thanksgiving Weekend, Nov. 27, 28 and 29, plus three Saturdays in December, the 5th, 12th, and 19th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Registration at coveredbridgeartisans.com/tourfromhome allows visitors free entrance to the event anytime during the tour. Attendance is easy. You can view brief behind the scenes videos, images of artist’s work and go directly to each artist’s website. You can also visit each artist in real time to say “hi,” see their new work up close and purchase directly from them or their online shops.
Artist studios on the tour include porcelain potter Katherine Hackl’s Swan Street Studio, painters Bill Jersey and Annelies van Dommelen, Jeanine Pennell of Bonetown Studio creating whimsical figurative sculptures.
Also on the tour are Dave Cann and Constance Bassett of Moorland Studio, creators of sculptures and oil paintings, and glass artists Karen and Geoff Caldwell of Sunflower Glass Studio.
