Hi,
I am planning a day trip with a friend to Vermont Clay Studio to see =
their wood fired exhibit. We will be looking to see any other =
interesting potteries or potters from that far north down further south. =
Also galleries would be interesting. I have so far Robert Compton =
Pottery,Frog Hollow ,and Brattleboro Clay works. Does anyone else know =
of anything else? I did look at a few studio potters on the web but =
these didn't seem to be open for a business venue. We are coming from =
Conn. and will be making a day/night of it!
Thanks in advance.

Diane,
Another place in Vermont is Simon Pearce. Not
a studio pottery - but a very large pottery that produces
ware for its own stores. They also have glass-blowing.
Both crafts can be watched as the artisans work.

Diane,
It might be out of your way, but I like the Ferrisburgh Artisan's Guild - it
is not all clay, but the last time we were there, they had quite a few very
nice clay artists represented. It is up Rt. 7 north of Vergennes. Jan
Cannon, of this list, has a studio out in the country not far from there.
Also, have you checked out the vermontcrafts.com website? They have maps
with studios on them: http://www.vermontcrafts.com/links/open.html
Some of these were only open on Memorial Day weekend, but they are marked.

Hi All,
I went yesterday with a friend to see the Vermont Clay Studio's Wood =
Fired Exhibit. Well it was really great. Lots of wonderful pots and =
friendly people. And we had an extra bonus of meeting Karen Karnes =
there! She was a delight and I feel truly honored to meet and talk with =
her. She had a large sculpture there that she was just removing to =
replace it with another. Another added bonus!
We also stopped in Brattleboro at the Brattleboro Clayworks and =
talked to Naomi Lindfield. I did a workshop with her a few years ago and =
she is also a very nice person to visit. Her shared studio(two other =
potters) is very nice and she let us come visit(with a call) in the =
evening as she was working in the studio.Great person.
We also visited Vermont Crafters Showroom a nice store that carries =
many different artists works(mostly Vermont).
A stop at the "Co- Op" a natural food restaurant/store which was =
wonderful and that made a great day. I didn't get to go all the places =
people recommended(the drive to first destination took 41/2 hours!) but =
will keep them in mind for next time. Thanks to all who posted =
suggestions. A great time to visit the north country before the snow =
flies!!

Congratulations Marta, I'm sure your daughter will love Vermont. I am from
Boston, like Bacia, and that whole area is gorgeous. Also, Jennifer Boyer
is from Vermont. She will probably write you.
You are really nice to have mailed anything this time of year. I thank you
in advance, and I can hardly wait to see the tea pots.
We have been having very stormy weather. Last weekend the Guild show was
slower than usual because of the horrible wind and rain. At least it
doesn't snow.
Anyway, I am having a great show this year. And it won't be over until
Sunday. I have lots of new shapes, slab plates, etc and the customers seen
to like them. Also, I have sold almost all my Shino. Not for very much
money, however. But I am glad to sell them, and make more.
Sunday evening I am invited to a dinner party at Lana Wilson's daughter's
home. She and her husband live next door. Lana will be here on a visit. I
have met her before, and really like her.
Well m'dear, must get ready for another day of work, work, work. Love, and
I hope you and your family have a fabulous holiday season. Rikki

Vermont distills all the natural beauty possible in New England, throws you
among people who are either the most friendly you've run across or bitter
and grizzled (there seems to be little middle ground), and gives you quaint
towns and historical architecture galore. If you ignore the modern stuff
and get into the small villages, you'll think you've dropped into a Currier
& Ives print (or a Normal Rockwell confection, or a Grandma Moses painting,
if anyone remembers her).
Even a short side trip down US 7 or, if the weather's bad, down I-89 (in
winter far more traveled, cleared, sanded and salted) would repay the
time. There's a lot of basics on
http://www.letmeshowyouvermont.com/index.htm which has highway-by-highway
points of interest -- note, however, that the author thinks you're
traveling from southern Vt to northern, just the opposite of what you'll be
doing. Be aware that there are three driving modes -- natives (35 mph,
real Jeeps, Subarus and Dodge Darts), ski vacationers (85 mph, Saabs, fake
Jeeps and black SUVs) and big truck (25 mph up the mountains, 95 down).
The atmosphere is that of a time warp. If you grew up in rural Minnesota,
you'll find values and modes of behavior (and restaurant fare) that remind
you of your childhood. On the other hand, you'll also find ski resorts
with the latest of the latest and the most expensive of the expensive,
populated by New York city and Boston denizens, not always known for
courtesy or patience.
Vt is a rich crafts colony almost wherever you go (see New York City and
Boston denizens, above -- fertile ground for sales).
Someday, in the summer, take 7 down through Putney, continue south, and
then hang a left at Rt. 11 or (further south) Rt. 9, and cross the mountain
ridges... a long, slow, tiring drive (about 150 miles to Brattleboro and
the New Hampshire border), but stunningly beautiful.
