The Covered Bridge Artisans Studio Tour, a self-guided tour located in the Delaware River Valley of lower Hunterdon and Bucks counties, takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 30 and May 1.
The studio tour takes place in seven professional artists’ studios in the Lambertville, Stockton, New Hope and Sergeantsville areas with 14 additional artists at the Sergeantsville Firehouse Events Center. All studios are located within 5 miles of Delaware River town Stockton, N.J.
The Covered Bridge Artisans have decided to introduce an additional spring event to the calendar this year. For 27 years, CBA has hosted an annual Thanksgiving weekend tour.
This new spring show will offer an opportunity to see these unique, rural studios in full bloom with an array of new work and fresh energy. This spring event will be hosted in alliance with The Hunterdon Art Tour.
The weekend will be a rare opportunity to see so many open studios regionally. Hunterdon County has a strong, vibrant arts community and this collaboration highlights the variety and depth of artists in this corner of New Jersey. Visitors have the opportunity to visit the workshops, shop for distinctive gifts and learn from each artist about how and where they create their work. The CBA studio tour is an introduction to a varied group of professional artists creating work throughout the year.
The group has a variety of artisans working in glass, jewelry, ceramics, photography, cast bronze, painting, weaving, bookbinding, woodworking, quilting and more. These are small, individual studios with enormous talent, experience, and skill. The self-guided tour directs one through the small towns of the scenic river valley and allows for the opportunity to get off the beaten track. It is a varied, casual, friendly experience that is an “engaging, tactile antidote to the online shopping world.”
The artists love sharing what they create with all their guests and invite a direct interactive experience with visitors interested in the arts. For information, and a map connected to GPS links, visit coveredbridgeartisans.com.
