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.
