Indiana County Potters Tour
October 20-21, 10-5pm
As you drive the scenic
back roads in western PA, you will encounter a growing community of potters.
These potters share and promote their love of clay and its creative properties.
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 and what inspires their
work.
Host studios have
invited guest potters to display their work. You can see and purchase the work
of over 11 different potters in seven locations. Note: Since some potters share
a studio, and others are guests for the tour, you may find more than one
potter's work at a single location.
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 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 than the tour times.
The tour is held the
third weekend in October ever year. This time of year is often peak for the fall
colors making the drive in the country a photographic trip.
Some of the studio
locations will be demonstrating various activities of making pots like Raku
firings or making pots using the wheel.
