A Visit to Farmhouse Pottery
Ben Ashby
I, like many of you, have a love for Farmhouse Pottery. I am not sure when or where I first discovered their beautiful pieces of hand thrown pottery, but I do know that for many years I dreamt of owning a piece or two myself. If you’ve seen any of my cooking videos you know I own a growing collection and it has become my go to kitchen brand.
Whenever I am in central Vermont I make a point to stop in to their Woodstock, Vermont studio and shop to see what I’m missing, what I need to dream of owning, and what is new. I think there is something special about being in a makers studio be it a single maker or a collective of creatives like Farmhouse Pottery has assembled to bring their works to life.
These are photos I created during an early spring visit to Woodstock. If you go for a visit you will see it much like this, the large windows between the shop and the studio allow everyone to watch what is being created.
In a world of fast fashion and over-seas-factory-made places like Farmhouse Pottery are a rare treat, a place where you can actually meet the hands that create the pieces you’ll likely be passing down to future generations. | FARMHOUSEPOTTERY.COM
