The Potters' Open House

On the eve of our Open Studio this 2010 Columbus Day weekend, I wanted to share a few images and thoughts for those who can't make it to central Vermont to visit us in person.  I have always loved potters' open studio events  . . . the common elements seem to be a newly-fired kiln of fresh pottery (often times unloaded while it is still hot!), homemade baked goods (my favorite recipes are those shared between other potters), freshly cut flowers in handmade vases, a postcard to friends and followers, and some painted sandwich board signs.  (This particular open studio also happens to involve pumpkins, apple cider, and 'mums!)  I like to think of all of the potters and artists who are hosting open studios this weekend, all of the new people we will meet, the old friends that will be greeted, and all of the dirt roads that will be traveled to find these artistic hideaways . . . have a wonderful weekend!   ~Becca
