Charlottesville and Albemarle, Greene, Madison, and Nelson counties. On the second weekend in November, artisans in Central Virginia open their doors for you to explore their working spaces. Many visitors make the Tour a two-day experience so they can enjoy other offerings while in the area. What a great way to spend a fall weekend! In addition to throwing pots, turning bowls, fashioning jewelry, blowing glass, and making other fine work with our hands, we have coordinated with members of our community to help create a memorable weekend for you. Open to the public and self-guided.
