This weekend, May 23 & 24, is the annual Spring Vermont Craft Council Open Studio event, which will run from 10-5 Saturday and Sunday. Robert Compton Pottery, located 5 miles north of Bristol village on Route 116, is participating.
We will be showing Robert’s diverse work that includes hand thrown decorative Raku & Pit Fired Pottery and functional Gas & Wood Fired Pottery. This year we are introducing a new line of History Mugs. Each mug features a brief biography on a person along with an image. We can also make “custom mugs” of your business, family history or celebrate a special event or person. Our websites are: http://www.robertcomptonpottery.com/ and http://historymugs.us/
Robert Compton Pottery will have many pots at discounted prices for this special weekend.
Take this opportunity to get to know your artist neighbors. You can pick up a map at the various participating artist’s studios or at Art On Main Gallery in Bristol village. You can also access maps on line. Below are links to the state map and the Addison County map. We hope you can stop by our pottery this weekend.

As you drive around, look for the bright yellow signs that show who is participating. There is no charge. The artists just want to show what they make and explain the processes they use to create their work. Local participants include:
