One of the best parts about being outdoors this year is all the dogs who bring their owners.

Having a studio deadline, after so many months, has been a welcome change, but the prospect of spending time with my guests and their work is just as wonderful. @juliewigginspottery is bringing her incised porcelain up from NC, including some of these large beauties. My longtime guest @toddwahlstrom, whose strong forms are a pleasure to use, will be back again this year, along with @ayshapeltz and her sensuous porcelain work. A weekend of friendship and great pots. Come join us! #asparagusvalleypotterytrail #marybarringerstudio #contemporaryclay #westernmass ##mohawktrail

Next Saturday look for these signs! They will guide you to each of the 9 studios!
Thanks @steve.earp.71 for getting this big one up on the Mohawk Trail!

@rebeccamayverrill will be coming from Portland, ME to be the guest of @mollycantorpottery on the trail this year. They will both have tents at @handlefactory_communityclay in Shelburne Falls on June 12th and 13th.
Rebecca makes colorful earthenware pots decorated using hand cut paper stencils for beautiful layered effects. Scroll to see one of her new animal friends pots that may only be available during our online trail kickoff which begins Friday, June 11th at noon.
Molly and Rebecca first met firing the wood kiln of Nancy Magnusson, and since then have spent many happy weeks at @haystack_school together. What a special treat to have Rebecca as a trail guest!
