Following the 2018 Fall Into Winter tour, Austerberry’s work will be sold exclusively at Dancing Tree Creations Artisans Gallery and Studio, 220 South Reading Avenue, Boyertown, PA.
Each stop includes gift-able items, fine art, home décor, and local culinary art and beverages. All work is for sale.

During the tour, visitors will receive a ticket at each venue they visit that can be entered into a special drawing for hand-crafted items or gift certificates donated by the participating artists or venues.
“I love how this has grown,” offers Austerberry. “We have so much fun with this every year, and I’m really looking forward to sharing our work with everyone who stops by.”
Lyn Camella-Rich of Dancing Tree Creations Artisans Gallery & Studio suggests, “We’re always excited to show our facility and the work of hundreds of artists. The annual ‘Fall Into Winter Tour’ allows you to finish your holiday shopping early with everything from pottery and glass to paintings and jewelry while supporting the talents of local artists in your communities.”
