Studios will be open from 10am to 5pm each day. Admission is free and families are welcome. The potters will be available to talk about their clay work and/or to demonstrate techniques. With a total of 15 potters, there will be a wide variety of styles shown and many pots for sale.

Look for the distinctive orange and white Berkshire Pottery Tour signs at key turns on the weekend of the Tour. A video introduction is also available on the pottery tour website: www.berkshirepotterytour.com.
