On Saturday and Sunday, October 4-5, readers are invited to take some time to explore the clay studios of seven Connecticut ceramic artists.

The Potters’ Path, winding its way from North Haven to Bethel, will lead to discoveries of an array of diverse functional and sculptural ceramics. This tour of seven studios and 14 artists features highly accomplished professionals, each with their own unique approach to their craft, workspace, and process.

Participating artists include Barbara J. Allen in Sandy Hook, who will be joined by guest Pam Church; Pascal Chmelar in New Haven, with guest Hayne Bayless; Zach Dunn in Seymour, with guest Greg Cochenet; Louise Harter in Bethany, with guest Andrea Dove; Frank Kara in Bethel, with guest Kiichi Takeuchi; Mike Perham in North Haven, with guest Thao Hau; and Trevor Youngberg in Woodbridge, with guest Steve Johnson.

The studios will all be open 10 am to 5 pm both days.

Visitors will be encouraged to linger, interact with the work, ask questions, and engage in conversation with the potters. Artwork will be available for purchase. At Barbara J. Allen’s studio in Sandy Hook, a portion of all sales will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-CT chapter.
