Makers and Artisans of Portland Walking Tour

Explore the past and the present of Portland's craft culture. Portland was a leader in the DIY culture and is home to every kind of food and beverage, from tea and kombucha to coffee and handmade soda; candies to hot sauces; imports and things made of recycled goods right in the warehouse district. Pottery studios, coworking sewing spaces, letter press publishers, enormous thrift cooperatives, and one of the nation's leading tile makers are all creating and encouraging locals to get inspired, get fed, get creating! We'll explore several of these makers, and take home a few things made right in the neighborhood. 2-3 miles (3-5 km) of walking, with tastes of tea and a snack as well. We always keep groups very small.
