Studio tour in the mountains
More than 100 studios and galleries will be open Nov. 30-Dec. 2 for the Toe River Studio Tour in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The tour is organized by the Toe River Arts Council to showcase the artisans of Yancey and Mitchell counties. Many studios only allow the public access for this tour and its companion event in June.
The tour is free and self-guided. A 40-page map guide allows folks to chart their own course, whether they come for a few hours or all three days. Small signs along byways and country roads keep folks on the right path. Many studios provide refreshments and decorate for the holidays.
