Announcing the 2015 lineup...

Overlooking the Red Lick Valley

     Greetings again! We've finalized our open studio locations for this year. For the second year in a row, the potters of Red Lick Valley invite the public to the Red Lick Artisans Spring Studio Tour for 2015. Because of the success of last year's inaugural event, the Red Lick Artisans have expanded the 2015 Spring Studio tour to two days for the entire Mother's Day weekend, Saturday from 9-6 and Sunday from 10-4.

Here's the line-up and map for the 2015 Spring Studio Tour:

     The RLA Spring Studio Tour is a self-guided driving tour of working artists' studios clustered in the beautiful "Knobs" area of Red Lick Valley,one of Central Kentucky's quiet treasures, straddling Madison and Estill counties, a short drive from Lexington, Ky., a half hour from Richmond and approximately 6 miles east of Berea. The participants for this year's tour are looking forward to an entire weekend of visitors to tour the studios, purchase unique handcrafted items and enjoy the activities from the many talented artisans in the area.

     In addition to pottery, the art and craft on the tour include paintings, jewelry, woodworking, furniture, textiles, up-cycled works and dance plus an invitation to Snug Hollow Farm in Red Lick Valley in Estill County to meet author, Barbara Napier and enjoy lunch and the scenic trails on the property.  Over the next few weeks, we hope to be highlighting individual stops and artists.
