There isn’t a bad time to visit Vermont, but fall steals the show every year. Wilmington oozes charm and is worth the 40 minute drive from North Adams every time.

When I go up that way I always walk downtown for the shopping and just a short drive from there is the Wilmington Antique and Flea Market that runs on weekends May-October, @starfire_bakery with amazing baked goods, and Twice Blessed Thrift Shop (technically in West Dover).

What Vermont town do I need to drag my family to next?

I had a nice afternoon exploring Wilmington. A reminder of what a special town we live in. My only regret is that I didn’t have enough time to visit more shops and restaurants. I didn’t buy a few more things but I can’t share because they are presents. Did I just start my Christmas shopping? Can’t be!! Visit Wilmington, VT - you’ll need a long weekend to see it all.

I hope these sweet little pots make you as happy as they make me to create them. They’ve been a big hit so far this summer @arthousevt! This weekend, I’ll be a vendor at the Blueberry Festival Craft Fair in West Dover from 9-4 @vermont_blueberryfest. I’ll have some mystery pots and lots of other fun surprises!

I always bring a project when I go to work at @arthousevt where I am an artist member. This was today’s project. 🐟Read on if you want to learn a little about it. I love making my own tools, and the process of playing with ideas. A week or so ago I had an idea to carve fish into a leather hard blocks of clay to create stamps. Those stamps went in the kiln to get what is called “Bisque Fired”. This process reduced the moisture in the clay making it less fragile and ready for the next step. In the case of these stamps, I stopped the process here because I planned to use them as tools. You may wonder why the clay turns pink. The clay I am using here is brown stoneware clay, which turns pink in a bisque fire because of the reduction of moisture and other chemical changes that occur when heated to 1950 degrees. If instead of making stamps, I made a bowl, for example, that would be bisque fired as well, followed by application of glaze, then returned to the kiln for a second “Glaze Firing”, which would then turn the clay back to brown. This second kiln firing, to even hotter temperatures, further reducing moisture and virtually eliminates it. Glaze is either brushed, dipped or sprayed on and goes on very chalky, often a totally different color than the end result. This is where the magic happens and you (often) get beautiful results. But it’s really not magic, it’s science. No wonder I love it so much and will always love the process! ❤️
