In the studio
A rainy morning in the studio. Bill is creating a castle commission and fantastical goblets. Heather is sculpting some fish candle holders and painting with underglazes on her sculpted platters. Our pottery shop is open Thursdays- Sundays through December from 10-4.
We are having fun creating today, while greeting all who come to walk the sculpture trail.
Heather has been taking some time in the studio for play and experimentation. Play in progress pics. 😊
Heather just unloaded some new 4x4 tile designs from the kiln. They are available in our shop - open 10-4 Thursday - Sunday (new hours) and by appointment and chance. We ship Heather's tiles so if you see something you like, please message us. The sculpture trail is open through Thanksgiving weekend.
Teamwork!! Finally splitting wood for the wood stove.
Our pottery shop is open 11-5, Wednesday - Sunday. The sculpture trail is open every day through Thanksgiving weekend.
Monday morning walk, stretching our legs before we open the pottery shop. It's a beautiful day for trail walking.
Catching up with the kids.

A glaze kiln full of components for Bill’s new sculptures!
A new addition to the sculpture trail. The trail is open daily through Thanksgiving. Please find directions on our website (link in bio). GPS has not accurately pinpointed this magical location, and often leads people far astray.

Heather’s tiles fresh from the glaze kiln. @heathergoffart
The last tiles to glaze before turning the large kiln on. It is full of tiles - including some new Vineyard scenes. We should be able to unload it on Thursday. Fingers crossed that everything survives the firing.

Enthusiastic visitor to our sculpture trail. 😊💕🌸
So relieved to have a successful glaze firing. Heather just restocked her shelves with new decorative functional pieces. Here is a peek at what’s drying on the studio racks as well.
We will be closing the trail for winter maintenance on Monday. Our pottery shop will remain open through Christmas Eve - Thursday-Sunday, 10-4.
Our sculpture trail is looking beautiful with autumn’s changing colors!
