Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Oxford County, the rustic village of Otterville is very inviting with the many studios of local artists and artisans, historic village sites and unique shops worth exploring.

This year the studio tour includes 14 local artists ranging in a variety from oil, watercolour, antiques, wood carving, wood turning, furniture, quilts and antiques. All of the participants for this tour live in the Otterville area and create their own unique products or own a shop in the town. The participating sites this year are Joan Rooke-McQuiggin, Harry Connor, Shirley Hokke, Connie Kloepfer-Tenaglia, Linda Hoffman, Lianne Todd, Tammy Gould, Lorrie Priddle, Ernie Gyori, Francis Richardson, Mac Leonard, Sue Goossens, Ron Brackenbury and Bob Wilson.

Maps are available at each studio and shop. While touring, just look for the yellow flags.
