Austin Ceramics Studio Tour 
Map and Directions


This page contains an overview map plus written directions that will facilitate finding each studio as well as special information about each site such as parking considerations and handicapped access issues.  In addition, there are links to "detail maps" that both show the area around each studio as well as a picture of most studio's as they will appear from the street.

Please Car Pool if you can!!!!
Parking is limited at all studios.  One of the first year's discoveries was that we should have provided a bit more information to assist you in parking safely as well as conveniently.

All of the studios except Ryan's are in residential neighborhoods and all of the studios experienced much higher traffic last year that we anticipated.

This year, parking tips will be added to each studio's "Detail Map"  In addtion to common sense items such as following posted signs, not blocking driveways when you leave your car, there are some parking safety issues of which you should be aware.

Credit Cards??!!
Several Potters on the tour are unable to justify the high subscription costs associated with credit cards based on low annual sales, so they are unable to accept plastic for clay. Paper (checks & cash) are welcome!
Comfortable Shoes?
We suggest wearing comfortable footware.  Access to studios is over paths from a variety of materials which range from dirt, gravel, pavement, rock to grass, so high fashion footware might be a liability.

Traffic Impact Events

Chuy's Fun Run, Saturday Morning, Lake Austin Blvd.

Early tour visitors on Saturday morning will likely encounter the residuals of Chuy's Fun Run along Expostion, Enfield west of Expostion and Lake Ausin Blvd.  To avoid this traveling between Marian Haigh's and Rebecca Roberts' studios early on Saturday, use loop 1 to to cross Town Lake and connect with Bee Caves Road.

Daisy 5K, Caesar Chavez and Waller (Map)

Early tour visitors on Sunday morning may encounter the residuals of the Daisy 5K but only if they take Caesar Chavez between Ryan's studio and I-35... if you use the suggested route on the map, there will be no conflict plus the event should be pretty much complete by the time the Art of the Pot tour resumes on Sunday at 10am.

The tour, as shown, is eighteen and a half miles and will consume about one hour of time driving based on normal speed limits.  The route is laid out both to provide the shortest route as well as using the most pleasant streets between the locations.

Below, you will find two sets of written directions, one based on driving East to West, and the other driving West to East.

You should be able to simply press the "PRINT" button on your browser and print out a complete set of directions for your tour, including the addresses and phone numbers of each studio if you need more information during the tour.

It will also be helpful to print out the neighborhood detail location maps page before the tour by clicking here.

Our Sponsors have been a big part of this year's events and they also have their own "Sponsor's Detail Maps" to help navigating to them and the special events they will host.
