GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. —The self-guided 9th Annual Berkshire Pottery Tour will take place the weekend of Sept. 24-25, 2022, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The potters and their locations include Daniel Bellow (Great Barrington), Ben Evans (Richmond), Ellen Grenadier (Monterey), Linda Skipper (New Marlborough), and Paula Shalan (Stockbridge), and The Berkshire Art Center (Stockbridge).

The tour is designed in a geographic loop and participants can start at any of the 5 studios. Orange and white Berkshire Pottery Tour road signs will be posted at key turns on the weekend of the event.

At each of the five core studios, the potters will be available to talk about their clay work and/or to demonstrate their techniques. There will also be wares on display for purchase.

Seven guest potters will be present on the tour, offering an even greater array of functional and sculptural ceramics. Their names and host studios include Lois Aronow (Daniel Bellow); Harry Levenstein (Ben Evans); Connie Talbot and Michael McCarthy (Ellen Grenadier); Rie McCarthy (Paula Shalan); and Lorimer Burns and Hunter Cady (Berkshire Art Center).

A detailed map is available on the Berkshire Pottery Tour Website as well as on widely distributed brochures. Attendees who pick up a Berkshire Pottery brochure and have it initialed at each studio will be entered into a raffle to win a gift of five pots donated by the host potters.

"So many folks are turning to pottery for a hands-on creative experience. They want to see behind the scenes, the why and where and how others make pots. This tour is an invitation to poke around and ask questions!"

Visitors can see a preview of each studio via a short film on the Berkshire Pottery Tour and get more information on the tour itself at www.berkshirepotterytour.com.
