Part of the fun is meandering through the beautiful Vermont countryside, following the map to find these prominent craftspeople and view the works where they are conceived and created. Several studios do demos. The weekend is promoted as "Putney Craft Tour's Craft and Performance Weekend" with wine and cheese tastings and performances at night at Next Stage Arts and Sandglass Theatre. Location: Putney and Saxtons River, VT. On the weekend of the tour the Welcome Center at Putney Mountain Winery will open at 10a for info, maps, and a preview exhibition of the artisans' works.
