Our History Potters Shirley Buckler and Julie Moore had both moved to King George County in 2004 and each was holding a Christmas Studio Open House unaware of the other. Eventually their paths crossed and they began to hold their open houses on the same weekend in a collaborative effort. With the combined event being such a great success they decided to take it one step further in 2008 and co-sponsored an area wide driving tour of King George County artists and fine craftsmen. Their goal is to offer local artists more community exposure and to acquaint the citizens with the many talented folks in King George County. Each year we've seen the numbers of visitors to the studio grow and we thank all those who've visited the studios for your support.
If you haven't yet, we hope you'll sign our guestbook, print out this year's tour map (below) and join us every year, the weekend before Thanksgiving.
