About Salt Spring Studio Tour

The Salt Spring Studio Tour is a self-guided tour of artists' and makers' studios around Salt Spring Island, running for more than three decades. You follow the blue and white sheep signs, numbered to match the current year's map, which you can download from the tour website or pick up on the ferries and at the visitor centre. Each studio sets its own hours, and many open from May to September.
