As
you drive the scenic back roads of Indiana County in western Pennsylvania,
you will encounter a growing community of potters. These potters
share and promote their love of clay and its creative properties.
You will find neslted in rolling farmlands and small villages various
studios that blend into the countryside - an old barn, a village
store, a new teaching studio and those with windows opening to a
field of flowers. Each place gives you a glimpse into the lives
of the artists and what inspires their work.
In the fall,
these potters coordinate a tour. They clean up their studios, wash
the clay off their hands, proudly put their work on display, and
warmly invite the public to visit their workplace and to learn about
the life of a potter. Of course, along the way, they hope you will
fall in love with one of their pieces and and take it home with
you.
The tour
is self-guided. Using the map and information on this web site you
can define your own trip and set your own pace. The seven studios
are no more than 15 to 20 minutes apart. Feel free to call any of
the phone numbers listed for more information or if you wish to
visit other then the tour times.
