The Covered Bridge Artisans Studio Tour is a self-guided tour located in the Delaware River Valley of lower Hunterdon and Bucks counties. The studio tour takes place in seven professional artists’ studios in 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 Stockton.

For 27 years the Covered Bridge Artisans have hosted an annual Thanksgiving weekend tour, but decided to introduce a spring event this year on April 30 and May 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in alliance with the Hunterdon Art Tour.  The weekend will provide a rare opportunity to see so many open studios regionally. Visitors can 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 Covered Bridge Artisans Studio Tour is an introduction to a varied group of professional artists creating work throughout the year.  The group features a variety of artisans working in glass, jewelry, ceramics, photography, cast bronze, painting, weaving, bookbinding, woodworking, quilting and more.
